CE build modules based on the "sysgen_" setting. Sometimes, some special sysgens will be set automatically by building tools. For example, sysgen_ppp will be added automatically if sysgen_l2tp is set. Build tools implement the functionality like this:
in public/cebase/oak/misc/***.bat
You can see, 5 sysgens will be added as soon as sysgen_l2tp is set. And it also defined l2tp as one of the CE_MODULES.
