Auxiliary
---------
+OS
+^^
+
+The OS module contains the abstractions for basic operating system services:
+
+* memory allocation
+* simple message logging
+* obtaining run-time configuration option
+* threading primitives
+
+This is the bare minimum required to port Gallium to a new platform.
+
+The OS module already provides the implementations of these abstractions for
+the most common platforms. When targeting an embedded platform no
+implementation will be provided -- these must be provided separately.
