Send a patch to this mailing list I guess?

Try the CVS version first. I believe 16F630 is supported long time ago.

16F630 is supported 3 years ago and 16F506 is supported
1 year ago. What is the distribution you are using?

I see that the 16f630 has been added. I still don't see the 16f506 (which 
is very new) in there. I'm using gputils 0.13.4.

Best option: log in on SF.net and submit a patch to the gputils bug
tracker. You could also open a feature request and attach the patch
there. Those are much easier to track down later than if you sent it to
the mailing list.

You do have the newest release and the 16f506 isn't in any release or
CVS yet, so we can use your patch. gputils is very far behind on
releases, so in general you'll want to update to the latest CVS version
before fixing bugs and check that they're still present. I know CVS
stinks...I plan to switch to SVN right after this release for
simplicity's sake.

Ah you are right. Even though the headers for 16F506 is there
but the chip itself is not supported by either the release version
and the CVS version.

Good idea. The other major projects for PICs like
gpsim/sdcc/piklab have all switched to SVN.
