Is your script somehow related to the export_hw_tcl command? The comments are matching so either you are emulating the Altera script, or vice versa, or the scripts have some common pedigree.

To some degree, that is what we are trying to establish. If you read the comments in the Tcl scripts in the example scripts/ folder, it tells you how I created the scripts. Basically I created Qsys .qsys XML files under several versions of Quartus, then used the Wiki script to convert them to Tcl so that I had a method of creating a .qsys file from a Tcl script in a Quartus-version-independent manner.
The Qsys Export to hw.tcl procedure is used to create a Qsys *component*, so the resulting hw.tcl files should be similar, but not the same, since my objective was to create the top-level Qsys system, not a component that you include in a Qsys system ... though after I take a look at exporting, it might be easy enough to support that option too.

I am going to make a stab at modifying your script to produce results which are more similar to what I am seeing with export_hw_tcl in 14.0. That way I can be more confident that it produces what I need but also gives me better control over the result. I wanted to be able to set some module properties as well, so having a script will give me more control over that as well. I'll keep you posted.

Cool! Keep hacking away on it. Its not too hard to add callbacks for elaboration, generation, etc. If you haven't figured those out, I can post some example hw.tcl files.
