[time-nuts] Using CPLD/FPGA or similar for frequency divider

This thread really makes me want to do an FPGA timing project. I have a
Papilio One on hand, which uses the Spartan 3E.

But what to do with it? It has to be something much more interesting than
what a PicDiv or simple logic can do to make it worth my time. Hmm...
