By the way, for PrepModule, the class is "True if the named module
exists and can be executed." 
(http://www.cfengine.org/docs/cfengine-Reference.html#index-PrepModule-3)
This in itself seems kind of useless.  The documentation doesn't explain
if the output (+ClassName) is also used as it is with regular modules. 
My 'module' was just a shell script with /bin/true.

Anybody using PrepModule to define classes/variables inside the module? 
When is it useful to define a class just based on a module existing and
being executable?
