This initially made me think of foreign architectures. The difference,
however, is that you don't want to have to write a VHDL entity
declaration corresponding to the Verilog module. Instead, you want VHDL
to be able to understand the Verilog module's interface. That would
mean defining a correspondence between Verilog port names, types and
directions on the one hand and VHDL port nameds, types and directions on
the other hand. Am I understanding this correctly?

Cheers,
