Eric Torrence presented a high-level view of the needed parts of the
upgrade, and presented a proposal for the flow on information between the
various simulation modules.

Mirroring what is currently done in L1EmtSim, a new L1DctSimModule object
would contain the board-level simulation routines and produce intermediate
L1...SimDigi objects (eg: L1TsfSimDigi) which are identical to the eventual
output L1...Digi objects, except without any window applied around the L1A
time.

Trigger line output from L1DctSimModule and L1EmtSimModule is fed to a new 
L1GltSimModule, where the GLT algorithm is applied and the L1A decision is
made.  To facilitate the modifications to the Fct code, it was agreed to
append L1A time (in units of event tick) to the L1GltSimDigi object.

The final step, creating the L1...Digi objects, is now a matter of applying
the windowing around the L1A time and filling the final L1...Digi objects. 

It was commented by SuDong that a similar diagram for the configuration
and `auxiliary' output would also be useful.
