Remove all unreachables

I uploaded to http://nldb.sourceforge.net/ a more comprehensive solution to the unreachable removal issue I detailed in my earlier blog.

The details of the unreachable algorithm are in file ruby/srcs/unreach.rb.

I made the nldb system more irb friendly, which required a little hack so I could pass -Xmx arguments through to the jvm.

So, we can go interactive to remove unreachables:

> java -version
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)
> jruby -v
jruby 1.2.0 (ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 287) (2009-03-16 rev 9419) [amd64-java]
> pwd
/.../nldb/tests/t2

## Launch irb after loading nldb
> ../../bin/nldb

## Load xlnx.lib.gv library and unreach.xlnx.gv netlist and link top 'unreach'
irb(main):001:0> top = Vmodule.new('unreach', '--lib xlnx.lib.gv unreach.xlnx.gv'.split)

## Delete all unreachable cells in design referenced in top (we loaded above).

## Save our updated top design into 'unreach.save.gv' netlist
irb(main):005:0> top.save(top.to_s+'.save.gv')

irb(main):006:0> exit
