Hi Andrew and Michael,

 During the EPICS 7 testing, we saw few interesting aspects on softIoc

and softIocPVA in EPICS7.

  * softIoc

   Somehow, -D option was gone [1], and is still there in usage [2]

  * softIocPVA

 Here -D option exists within usage and it is in the main function

also [3,4].

 Then, I realized the softIoc loads its dbd file automatically by

using lazy_dbd [5], but the softIocPVA doesn't have the laze_dbd function.

 And two softMain.cpp in both places are somehow diverted according to

time. Do you have a plan to sync between them? It is really nice if we

have consistent options and functionalities in softIoc and softIocPVA

except V4 related libraries and its DBD file.

  Best,
  Han
