I think that the information about dependencies is not very useful in 
the user
guide documentation. For almost all options is not sufficient just to 
enable it
here. Support in the PMD is required to bind libefx to corresponding 
external
interfaces.

I think it is a good idea to document here why some options are enabled
and why SFN5xxx/SFN6xxx (Siena) support is disabled. Will do in v2.
