What you are saying is that I should make a pointless alias in the
modules file to the modules in question and whenever I wish to
create a new module I must do the same. I don't know how to
write module file entires, I will have to learn and then add the
pointless entries you describe. I could but why should I? Surely
the purpose of software is to provide an easy and powerful ways to
do things. CVS ought to provide a command so that the modules
can be listed. It wouldn't take a day to write and every user would
appreciate it.
Is the attitude of the CVS developers "it was hard to write so it
should be hard to use?"
