I checked Felix' patch, which checks for module existance, and I
believe that there's currently no problem with it.  This is based on
private conversation with Pavel, which led to the commit I'm quoting
in this mail (see above).

Felix, please go ahead and commit it.  I don't think there's anything
wrong, but if there is we can still fix it afterwards.
