// evaluation context corresponds to a section in the .ini file (as
// with the base ParamContext) plus an optional node in the
// configuration hierarchy (the configNode member) for resolving
// SimObject references.  SimObjectBuilder is an abstract superclass;
// derived classes specialize the class for particular subclasses of
// SimObject (e.g., BaseCache).
//
// For typical usage, see the definition of
// SimObjectClass::createObject().
