FYI: Rewrite of module subsystem

[Gary V . Vaughan]

Since I wrote the last incarnation of m4/module.c over ltdl.c, the facilities 
from libltdl have improved immensely.  This (rather large) patch implements a 
rewrite of the whole module subsystem to leverage these new features.  As a 
knock on effect, several speedups elsewhere in the code have also been 
expoited.

Not included in the attached is the removal of m4/list.[ch], which were 
present mostly to manage a list of loaded modules -- a function now provided 
by libltdl.

This concludes the backlog of unflushed patches from my local tree.  Let the 
source quake begin!

Cheers,
        Gary.
