The verilog code is in "lang_verilog*".
The best way to work on it is to treat it as a plugin.
Grab that set of files, compile with
"g++ -shared -fPIC -o verilog.so lang_verilog*cc"
Then "load ./verilog.so" and to substitute the new version.

What I said is that I have imposed a temporary "feature freeze"
because there are a lot of new features since the last stable
release that are not adequately tested and documented. My
focus for now is to test, fix, and document, then make a stable
release.
