>Not all settings of configuration items will lead to a
	  coherent configuration; for example, the use of a timeout
	  facility might require the existence of timer support, so if
	  the one is required the other cannot be removed.  Coherence
	  is policed by means of consistency rules (in particular, the
	  goal expressions that appear as CDL items
	  <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>requires</I
></SPAN
> and
	  <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>active_if</I
></SPAN
> attributes [see
	  above]).  A violation of consistency rules creates a
	  <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>conflict</I
></SPAN
>, which must be resolved in
	  order to ensure a consistent configuration. Conflict
	  resolution can be performed manually or with the assistance
	  of the <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>eCos</SPAN
> tools.  Conflicts come in the following
	  flavors:</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>An <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
