Simple support for driving VHDL simulators from makefiles on Linux and Windows/MSYS2.

To get started: add multisim-mk to your repo as a submodule, copy the template makefile to your build directory, and edit it to add your sources.

When invoking make, the simulator must be specified (as a make target) as follows:

make <simulator>

Supported simulators are listed below:

Append gtkwave to the make command (e.g. make ghdl gtkwave) to produce VCD file(s) and invoke the GTKWave waveform viewer after simulation.

If the vivado target is specified, a Vivado project is generated that may be opened in the IDE.

Note: Beware running the Vivado "settings" script on Windows: this will prepend paths that include Xilinx MinGW builds of GNU tools to the system path, and stop multisim-mk from working. Instead, just add the main Vivado binary directory to your path.

1. For the vivado target, https://github.com/amb5l/xilinx-mk is required.
2. For GTKWave support, https://github.com/amb5l/vcd2gtkw is recommended - this generates an initial waveform save file.
