-%description
-Verilator is the fastest free Verilog HDL simulator. It compiles
-synthesizable Verilog, plus some PSL, SystemVerilog and Synthesis
-assertions into C++ or SystemC code. It is designed for large projects
-where fast simulation performance is of primary concern, and is
-especially well suited to create executable models of CPUs for
-embedded software design teams.
