All in all I see a very laborious way to generate a clock enable. Whats 
the advantage prior to a simple counter?

One word to this:

1

GENERIC (DivideRange  : integer);

2

:

3

signal ClockDivider, DividerFactor : integer range 0 to DivideRange;

4

:

5

begin

6

:

7

       DividerFactor <= DivideRange - 1;

8

:

9

       ClockDivider <= ClockDivider + 1 mod DividerFactor;

As "mod" implements a divider, this design will lead to extensive logic 
with some values for "DivideRange". Because only values in (2**x+1) will 
be easily synthesizable.

Of  course x/(2**n) is synthesizable, because it's only some rewiring.
E.g. for x/4 just the lowest 2 bits are skipped.

And when a division is synthesizable, then "mod" is also, because that's 
only to ignore the upper bits.

 So, synthesis tools is ignore mod statement and really no problem in 
the hardware ?
