+>A component is a configuration option that can contain additional
+options and sub-components. The body of a <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_component</TT
+> can contain
+the same properties as that of a <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_option</TT
+>. There is an additional
+property, <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>script</SPAN
+> which allows configuration data to be split into
+multiple files. It is also possible for a component body to include
+<TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_component</TT
+>, <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_option</TT
+> and <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_interface</TT
+> entities that should
+go below this component in the configuration hierarchy.</P
+><P
+><TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_component</TT
+> is implemented as a Tcl command that takes two
+arguments, a name and a body. The name must be a valid C preprocessor
+identifier: a sequence of upper or lower case letters, digits or
+underscores, starting with a non-digit character; identifiers
+beginning with an underscore should normally be avoided because they
+may clash with system packages or with identifiers reserved for use by
+the compiler. Within a single configuration, names must be unique. If
+a configuration contained two packages which defined the same entity
+<TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>CYGIMP_SOME_OPTION</TT
+>, any references to that entity
+in a <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>requires</SPAN
+> property or any other expression would be ambiguous.
+It is possible for a given name to be used by two different packages
+if those packages should never be loaded into a single configuration.
+For example, architectural HAL packages are allowed to re-use certain
+names because a single configuration cannot target two different
+architectures. For a recommended naming convention see <A
+HREF="package.contents.html"
+>the Section called <I
+>Package Contents and Layout</I
+> in Chapter 2</A
+>.</P
+><P
+>The second argument to <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_component</TT
+> is a body of properties and
+other commands, typically surrounded by braces so that the Tcl
+interpreter treats it as a single argument. This body will be
+processed by a recursive invocation of the Tcl interpreter, extended
+with additional commands for the various properties that are allowed
+inside a <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>cdl_component</TT
+>. The valid commands are:</P
