Ah yes, that was a leftover from the earlier implementation.  Updated.

Applied.  Thanks for pointing this out - I didn't noticed that the original
case was no longer present.

Updated.  Sorry about that - it should have been "depend on".

Ah, I didn't realize that.  Thanks!

I had thought about that and didn't do it.  But I certainly agree that it
can be a good idea, so yes, let's do it.  It certainly helps while doing
more development work or debugging with the generator script.

Good catch - not needed.

Thank you!  I didn't think of the approach to keep <dir>/<mod> as the key,
but that is indeed simpler.

I'll squash your patch into mine.  Thank you for the good suggestions.
