The problem is that the code would read something like:

int
loadmodule(const char *module)
{ 
	if (modfind(module) == -1)
		return (kldload(module));
	return (0);
}

A bit unnecessary really....

(I put loadmodules() into ppp because I tend to need to load more than 
one module, and it was more convenient that way....).
