Re: modules anyone?

I've got the ldap and gpm code in the latest CVS snapshot usable.
Do we
want to make this a default for 21.2? Are there any other pieces that
should be moved into modules as a proof-of-concept?
Steve's postgress code I guess.
For LDAP and GPM it was basically cp ../modules/xxx and a makefile
tweek.
Other than that it worked out of the box.
Does that also include an option where they still get linked into the
core? Would it be possible to leave the source files in src (is also
more convenient for grep'ping?)
Someone mentioned a while ago that the portable dumper screwed up
modules... not quite sure I see why. In theory you shouldn't be dumping
out any of those objects, but...
More importantly is that Martin made the number of lrecord types a
compile time constant. Of course that does not matter for modules that
are basically lazy loaded parts of the core.
