Do we misinterpret or is the driver not capable of being built in
modular form?
If not, it would appear that this functionality has been lost since
version 19 of the driver, admittedly some time ago.

Not having the driver available in modular form obviously makes work
on the driver a bit more cumbersome.
I'm assuming that the lack of module support is secondary to some
innate architectural issues with the driver?
