  Synopsis    [Attaches the boxes to the network.]

  Description [This procedure is called after the design is parsed. 
  At that point, all the defined models have their PIs present. 
  They are connected first. Next undef boxes are processed (if present).
  Iteratively, one bundle is selected to be driven by the undef boxes in such 
  a way that there is no conflict (if it is driven by an instance of the box,
  no other net will be driven twice by the same formal net of some other instance 
  of the same box). In the end, all the remaining nets that cannot be driven 
  by the undef boxes are connected to the undef boxes as inputs.]
