Not complaining, but cars today works under the same principles as the T-Ford, but more efficient and powerful. Why not to apply that way of thinking to the 65xx architecture?

That could be a solution.

A compiler that would read the 65xx code and then detect if additional modules are needed to be included in the VHDL target. Like... 

IF "LDB instruction detected" THEN "add another register module to the VHDL target and name it B".
