Yes, great idea. It is a corollary of my planed hardware overview.

Hm, I don't think so. There is a NIOS port, but it was (and is) broken in 
current CVS tree. There is no passable way to rebuild for himself.

That's the second reason. It's really new for all known and conservative 
software modells to work with configurable hardware (CPU inclusive). With 
this knowlege in mind we have to make a more expansive configuration 
infrastructure. New ideas are welcome ...
