I think the DSM spec should say which directives can be used more than
once, if only some of them are.
For that matter, the syntax of the value should be defined (if it needs
to). For example, it wasn't clear to me that gcc >= NNN is a valid
syntax.

Suggest to add the list to the DSM spec. This list probably needs to be
enlarged; I will try to suggest a few additional groups later.

The question is: how do I say in a package's DSM that it belongs to
several groups?
