     This appears to be another of the 15 issues already brought up in issue 372.
     As Shalom has said, perhaps this issue should be broken up so that we can
     deal with the pieces separately.
     
     The missing semicolons look like errors to me. Terminating the lines with
     semicolons would be consistent with other comparable Verilog syntax.
     Certainly Verilog coders are in the habit of typing them.
     
     If we accept enhancement request 350, then the config syntax isn't part of
     the Verilog HDL syntax, so it is less important to be consistent with Verilog
     syntax. And as Brad says, the semicolons aren't needed for parsing since all
     of the lines start with keywords. But it does look to me like they were
     intended to be there.
