XC6200 bitstream readback

Dear FPGA developers,

I'm a CS student who's currently trying to get into Evolvable
Hardware. Unfortunately I don't have much background in
hardware design, but maybe you can still point me in the
right direction.

So far I was able to set up a FreeBSD server and do a memory
map of the vintage Xilinx XC6200 mounted on a VCC Hotworks
PCI board and write the resulting bitstream to a file.

Is there a tool for Windows which would decode the XC6200
bitstream into a CAL file, thus allowing me to import the
configuration to a design tool? All the Xilinx tools I
tried expect the board to be mounted either on the local
machine or on a remote Windows system.

I found quite some stuff about Virtex readback, .bit files,
bitgen and so on, but I'm unsure to what extend that work-
flow can be adopted to the vintage XC6200/Hotworks...

Best regards,
Toby
