Here's public domain code for a Spartan 3E, to interface with multiple rotary encoders. It's currently tested up to 8. It uses Block RAM to keep track of a Rotary ID and Value for the rotary (between 0-127). It outputs the rotary values via UART on 57600 baud. Based off of the Papilio and also HamsterNZ's introductory PDF on FPGAs.
I have different versions of this. I've had some issues with UART partial garbage output on a Spartan 3E 500, whereas the Papilio's 250 did not have such issues. I'll start with the one that's compatible with the Papilio board (including the pinout / constraints.ucf file).
There is Rotary_Top.vhd, which is the main code, then there is rotary.vhd. Finally you will need to initialize the Block Ram, and also optionally include a init hex file.
Caution: Prototype code! Expect extra notes / comments.

-- TODO
--DONE test reading one address in RAM. make sure it is right.
--DONE make sure output on UART is correct. Also bits are
--DONE in right order too. DONE.
--DONE (used counter, not loop) setup a read on 0-99 addresses of RAM . use loop.
--DONE have it output each memory address in uart 3 or 4 times before
--going to the next.
--DONE EASY have it loop through the ram 24/7 EASY
--DONE: set default values of ram to be letters abcabcabcabc
--RAM
-- idea
-- have top level manage all ram and output
-- have output only if cw or ccw
-- if outputs, have that rotaryID(or memory address)
-- be the chosen one to write to.
--UART
-- possible solution #1
-- if a memory address is updated
-- then output uart of new memory address only
-- every rotary change, causes
-- new ram write/ read, and uart output
-- on as needed basis
-- PROBLEMS: having trouble getting just one uart byte out
-- noisy, and timing is off possibly (check timing)
-- possible solution #2
-- loop through all memory constantly
-- output all values constantly
-- any changes will be reflected in micro
-- hopefully fast enough? (should be)(57600 is p fast)
-- any rotaries that update will write to ram
-- problems: if 100 rotaries updating at once,
-- could not be fast enough? maybe? maybe not. maybe it
-- is fast enough to read io, write ram.
-- write RAM would be separate from read ram / UART here
-- but need to adjust write enable flag as needed... maybe
-- two port RAM is better? constantly write on port A
-- constantly read from port b. no need to adjust write enable
-- flag...
-- Yes, you can use dual port RAM. one port always wea high
-- other port always wea low. and they should only interfere
-- if read is during a write. however,
-- depending how fast I read the data, I may be able to get
-- around htis. i could also average the values (say last 3
-- values) from the serial for a given byte, and call that
-- the true value. this way avoid any memory errors.
-- TODO
-- Need to writeup basic documentation and clean these at the
-- very end.
-- look up what a memory latch is
-- output serial as BCD or ascii table bits
-- i.e. instead of using straight hex (one byte each) for
-- a number, convert it to its ascii equivalent (not as fast)
-- (takes more bytes)
-- EDIT: just outputting raw 8 bits

-- todo: IO of rotary needs communication
-- need to store values in signals
-- need to output signals with distinct ID (generic passed
-- holds the ID number)
-- one byte output, with 1 bits for left/right (either 1 or 0)
-- 7 bits for rotary ID, one bit for stop (i.e. normal uart)
--the idea will be. each rotary has a unique ID, and a unique
--signal (ROTSIG1, ROTSIG2) in each instance
--which will output direction bit and id bits.
--there will be a uart to send out bits. Or preferably
--some way to read registers (see hamsterbook) beyond uart.
--there will be a busy flag, which all rotary instances share
--and when a byte is being sent, other rotary instances wait
--until it is cleared. after each sends a byte, it clears
--it. each rotary stores the direction / id in a signal and
--after outputting, it erases the direction. there will be
--another flag to determine if data needs to be sent or not.
--if dataoutputneededflag is 0, then no data is sent.
--signals are specified in top level module and mapped in
--instance. you can map the ports in the instance to signals.
-- Outputs ROTARYCOUNT (7 to 0)
-- and ROTARYID (15 to 8)
-- to DATAOUT

Block RAM Settings
true dual port ram common clock y 16 write width 160 write depth operating mode (write or read first) - no change yes, using enable pins and load init file, write rest 0's.
Init hex File
You will also need an init Hex file to load in the Block RAM, in order to make it easy to see where the bits start and stop. The radix is 16 (so hex) and each two integers is one byte (e.g. 0x00, 0x01, would be the first two). This is what the UART outputs, without any data added. So you see 00, then 01. The 01 is an index, the 00 is the value of the rotary encoder (being 7 bits, so 0 - 127), and so on. This way you get the UART from FPGA to the micro with an index. It should look something like:
memory_initialization_radix=16; memory_initialization_vector= 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0009, 000A, 000B, 000C, 000D, 000E, 000F, 0010, 0011, 0012, 0013, 0014, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019, 001A, 001B, 001C, 001D, 001E, 001F, 0020, 0021, 0022, 0023, 0024, 0025, 0026, 0027, 0028, 0029, 002A, 002B, 002C, 002D, 002E, 002F, 0030, 0031, 0032, 0033, 0034, 0035, 0036, 0037, 0038, 0039, 003A, 003B, 003C, 003D, 003E, 003F, 0040, 0041, 0042, 0043, 0044, 0045, 0046, 0047, 0048, 0049, 004A, 004B, 004C, 004D, 004E, 004F, 0050, 0051, 0052, 0053, 0054, 0055, 0056, 0057, 0058, 0059, 005A, 005B, 005C, 005D, 005E, 005F, 0060, 0061, 0062, 0063, 0064, 0065, 7A7A,
