I have not implemented anything like this in the current patch, though 
it is a very interesting idea. Removing a module from a parent library 
that a child depends on will result in the behavior as 'jmod remove -f'.

I see Alan has a separate proposal that will redefine the relationship 
between module libraries. If it's ok lets leave this issue until then. 
The comment in the code will suffice for now ;-)
