Problem Title:
NGD2VER: The PC path is not being interpreted correctly in the 'uselib and 'include statements



Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
The PC path is not being interpreted correctly in 'uselib and
'include statements written by Ngd2ver.


Solution 1:

The path being used by the `include and 'uselib directives
is a string literal. In the Verilog LRM, string literals can contain
special characters that are escaped with the "\" (see section
2.6.3 of the LRM).

To use a \ in a string like this you need to escape it, so
"H:\\xilinx_insall_path\\verilog\\src\\glbl.v" will work correctly.
