Very interesting document! I didn't know that you could have several versions of the same component installed at the same time.

Hi, 

 That was a good initiative. Maybe I can help with a tip: In chapter 7 of the SOPC Section of the Q2 Handbook (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii5v4_01.pdf) you will find some information how to edit the GUI for your custom component by scripting in the hw.tcl file. I use it to set ranges on my generics but you can also write callback functions that deal with different events when a user instantiates one of your components.  //Ola
