Subject: [PATCH] Corrected a minor error in ext2hier.c where views with no
 devices and no ports are still supposed to be output as instances if they
 have been marked as abstract views.  Such views were getting output as cell
 definitions but not instanced, which although is irrelevant for simulation,
 would potentially cause LVS errors.
