I flaked on the Modules.order stuff and it's been on my TODO for over a
week - company deadlines got in the way. I will push a new tree asap,
hopefully before next week, which excites me in particular because...

...in RHEL, I had to fix this too just now, so I've been looking forward
to a better upstream fix. What I had to do for RHEL5 in the end was just
alphabetically sort the modules list prior to writing to disk. It's not
elegant, but it does guarantee consistent behavior on multiple matches.

Jon.
