That could work for short term but I think, as Chris said, that we have 
to re-examine the module library delegation as it has a few issues 
(aside from the remove problem). Moving module libraries around the file 
system is another example that cause problems. I have an initial patch 
that uses a module library path that I need to bring up for discussion, 
maybe soon as it seems timely.
