would you mind reverting this and implementing the "dependant" module model mlelstv proposed? the above is a hack and doesn't scale or work if a new module with the same "problem" is introduced, as it requires the base kernel to be patched, where as a pair of modules can be added much more easily. thanks. .mrg.
