Dear Thomas De Schampheleire,

Do we really want to use all uppercase, even for things like thread
support?

We have the choice between:

 (1) All lower-case

 comment "directfb needs a toolchain w/ ipv6, rpc, thread, wchar"

 (2) Lower-case, except when it doesn't make sense (acronyms)

 comment "directfb needs a toolchain w/ IPv6, RPC, thread, wchar"

 (3) All upper-case

 comment "directfb needs a toolchain w/ IPv6, RPC, THREAD, WCHAR"

Also, the other question is which features do we mention. IPv6, RPC,
largefile, wchar, C++ and thread have always been there. However, the
need for dynamic library hasn't been always but in the comments, but
you were suggesting to include it. Also, what about MMU dependency ?

Thomas
