Is it acceptable to everyone if I remove it from the interface, but allow the 
setting of 'modules_path' in the prefs file?  It's just a colon-separated 
list of paths.

[Aside: Just curious - what are the 'other platforms'?  Does Ayttm actually 
work on Windows? :-)]

Well, it's not easy to make it a compile time option.  What I've done is 
created a 'new_prefs' branch for me to work on this because there are many 
changes to pref handling.

I see this as a two-stage thing:
        1) make underlying changes to clean up the way prefs are read, set, and 
written
        2) change the interface

Once (1) is in a reasonable state, I will ask people to look it over.  Then I 
can merge that in and move on to (2).  At that point [since you volunteered 
:-)] you can check it on the 'other platforms'.

That OK with everyone?
