other options. For example the common HAL package provides some
support functions that are needed by the <SPAN

unlikely to be useful if the kernel is not being used. This
relationship can be expressed using:</P

>If the kernel is loaded then this HAL option is automatically enabled,
although the user can still disable it explicitly should this prove
necessary. If the kernel is not loaded then the option is disabled,
although it can still be enabled by the user if desired.
<SPAN

appropriate, and provide a very powerful facility for component
writers who want their code to &#8220;just do the right thing&#8221;
in a wide variety of configurations.</P
><P
>The <SPAN

change to any other option referenced in the expression. The result
depends on the option's flavor:</P

can be misinterpreted as an option instead of as part of the

options, but this may change in future. Option processing halts at the
sequence <TT
