Which FPGA you are using ?
Each FPGA vendor have their own FPGA tools...
If you want a to do upto synthesis, then you can use the Synopsis Synplify Pro or Premier.
Guys, the OP says he is designing his own FPGA and doesn't need any help regarding Xilinx, Altera or Actel.
If you can elaborate on "I am doing my FPGA from scratch..." then there might be better suggestion/solutions.
On a 2nd through, why would someone re-invent the wheel (justfor the fun/thrill of it?)......if you are not focusing on some FPGA research area?
Moving transistors around is a typical case in back-end ASIC design and physical design engineers do that using special tools.
Actually many people can't! Specially candidates who are still students or have just obtained a degree. I also doubt if such people can also differentiate between design implementation for ASIC and FPGA.

Isn't that the point of an engineering degree, learn how to formulate a question and then proceed to finding a solution? All the theory and the classes are really just about teaching the tools used to get from a question to an answer.
