  Synopsis [Builds a flat description of a subtree of hierarchy manager.]

  Description [Builds a flat description of a subtree of a hierarchy manager.
  The flattened names of variables are taken as those hierarchical names where
  the variables are defined.  The names are relative to the "current" node
  of the hierarchy manager, which can be set by calling
  Hrc_ManagerSetCurrentNode() first.  Nodes are created even for unused
  variables (i.e. variables that don't fanout to anything.)<p>

  AbstractedNames is a list of char*.  If the list is not NULL, then this list
  is interpreted as a list of variables to abstract.  If a given name in the
  list does not correspond to the hierarchical name of a node in the network,
  then NULL is returned, and an error message is written to error_string.
  Otherwise, a new primary input is created to drive the net identified by the
  variable name.  See the documentation for the command flatten_hierarchy for
  more information.<p>

  The verification routines assume deterministic and completely specified
  tables. If a table is found that is locally non-deterministic or incompletely
  specified, then a message is written to vis_stderr, and a NIL network is
  returned (the non-deterministic test is not performed on non-deterministic
  constant tables).  This test can be bypassed (in order to save time) by
  passing FALSE for buildMvfs. Note that this should be done with extreme
  caution, because bad tables could inadvertantly be allowed through and
  invalidate verification results obtained downstream.<p>

  Also, if a table has no inputs and more than 1 output, and its output space
  is not complete (i.e. the outputs are correlated), then the table is
  declared a "relation", and NIL is returned.]

  Comment [Proceeds in 3 phases: 1) builds a map from formals to actuals, 2)
  adds a node for each actual (i.e. for each node that will appear in the
  network) and 3) sets the types (and tables, where appropriate) for each
  node.]

  Synopsis    [Creates mapping from formal names to actual names.]

  Description [Loads the formal-to-actual table of network.  For each formal
  variable name in hrcNode, maps it to a unique actual variable name.  The map
  is many-to-one.  The rule is that a formal is resolved to the actual as high
  in the hierarchy as possible.  Proceeds recursively by examining
  subcircuits. Note that only formals are in the domain of the map. Also, care
  has to be taken when looking at net in parent since they may also be

  Description [Add functionality to the Ntk_Node_t's for this Hrc_Node_t.
  Proceeds in 3 stages: 1) sets PI's and PO's; this is achieved by looking at
  PI/POs which are not formals, 2) adds tables to combinational logic, taking
  care to get the non-deterministic/deterministic constants right, 3) iterates
  over latches, adding type latch to nodes which have a name correspoding to
  this latch's ps name, and declaring the initialization logic for the
  latch.<p>

  If a table is found that is non-deterministic or incompletely specified,
  then a message is written to vis_stderr, and FALSE is returned (the
  non-deterministic test is not performed on non-deterministic constant
  tables).  Also, if a table has no inputs and more than 1 output and its

  returned.  However, even if FALSE is returned, the nodes are still
  declared.<p>

  represents nondeterministic or incompletely specified behavior.  If it does,
  a message is written to vis_stderr, and FALSE is returned.  Also, if a table
  has no inputs and more than 1 output and its output space is not complete,
  then it's declared a "relation", and FALSE is returned.<p>

  If the table passes these tests, then a reduced table is built for this
  table output, consisting of just that output and the input columns in the
  support of that output.  The node is then declared as a "pseudo-input" if
  the table represents a nondeterministic constant, or a "combinational" node
  otherwise.<p>

  Building the MVF, performing the tests, and building the reduced table, is
  bypassed if the input buildMvfs is FALSE.  Note that this should be done with
  extreme caution, because bad tables could inadvertantly be allowed through
  and invalidate verification results obtained downstream.]
