Well this seems a little 'over-designed' IMHO.  We get the default module path 
through the defaults.h file which is generated when we configure ayttm, so 
having them installed in another place can be done at the configure stage, 
no?  With respect to 3rd party modules - we don't have any right now and I 
don't see anything wrong with specifying what directory they must go in.

I guess I'm saying that if we want to allow this flexibility - and I'm not 
convinced that we should - it should be in some hidden config file, not in 
the interface.  Colin's mom doesn't know or care about paths and rescanning 
for modules [at least I don't imagine she does].
