Well, I wrote a short patch for simulavrxx a while ago that allows it to 
interface with icarus verilog. 

This way, any plugin you write is more general and can be used by any code 
that can be plugged into icarus. I think it is a bad idea if every uC 
simulator comes with its own set of reinvented LCD modules etc.

The patch still needs alot of testing, though! :-)
