Hi Andrew,

you are right, the FPGA code definitely needs some cleanup.

I posted a couple of patches a few minutes before your posting arrived.
My 2nd patch addressed this issue (please apologize that I forgot to enumerate

late.)

Probably yes, but I am not sure if we might need sub-ms-timing.

There are some other coding style issues like braces for single statements.

I am willing to implement some of your/our ideas. But first I am awaiting 
my five patches to get it in :-)
