[Hardware] RC5 with FPGAs

Doing a quick survey of the hardware list, there seems to be many people(me
included), that seem, to various stages, to be dabbling with an FPGA (or
other soft silicon) implementation.
I hereby propose that we make a central area for such developments, to
coordinate development.
Another techinical idea: Instead of fine tuning each implementation to each
FPGA, we could have one "main" code, and use a core generator program to
tune it to each individual FPGA, to allow for maximum optimization.
