I took a look at the contrib modules and the fix is pretty much
identical everywhere. Regarding how to approach it, it I guess where a
function fails today with "could not open file", it's fine to report a
proper error message instead -- this rather unhelpful error message is
sitting there for a long time and didn't seem to bother anybody.
Thoughts?
