+o Differenciate "options" and "flags"/"params".
+
+ "options" enables featurs by adding *.c files (via attributes).
+
+ "flags" and "params" are to change contents of *.c files. These don't add
+ *.c files to the result kernek, or don't build attributes (modules).
+
+o Make flags/params per attributes (modules).
+
+ Basically flags and params are cpp(1) #define's generated in opt_*.h. Make
+ them local to one attributes (modules). Flags/params which affects files
+ across attributes (modules) are possible, but should be discouraged.
+
+o Generate things only by definitions.
+
+ In the ideal dynamically modular world, "selection" will be done not at
+ compile time but at runtime. Users select their wanted modules, by
+ dynamically loading them.
+
+ This means that the system provides all choices; that is, build all modules
+ in the source tree. Necessary information is defined in the "definition"
+ part.
+
+o Split cfdata.
+
+ cfdata is pattern matching rules to enable devices at runtime device
+ auto-configuration. It is pure data and can (should) be generated separatedly
+ from the code.
