Description: Intro
        =====
        SimShop is a tool that makes running command line based Verilog simulations
        simple.
        
        SimShop is part of the simulation environment used to run baseline simulations
        of cores purchased from RTLCores.  The simulation environment is included with
        any purchase of a source level RTL core.
        
        **TODO** <Link to detailed documentation>
        
        At RTLCores, we wanted a way to run simulations on Mac OSX, Linux and Windows
        through a consistent interface. Normally we would just use Make, but using Make
        on Windows requires the installation of Cigwin which, while it's a wonderful
        tool, is a pain for some people to deal with. Python, on the other hand, is
        very easy to install and use on all platforms.
        
        Why command line
        ================
        You may be wondering why we would choose to do simulations via the command
        line. The answer is that more often than not GUIs are a hindrance. Once you
        start using a vendor's GUI it's really difficult to switch to another vendors
        tool if the need arises, and it will. Running simulations from the command line
        keeps your environment agnostic and also allows the use of simulation grid.
