I wonder if the two could be combined... First set SUBDIR's to values determined from MODULES_LIST's, and then do a for loop through the final SUBDIR value, checking for a NO_KMOD_xxx.. But maybe that would be too complicated an interface for something that is going away soon, if committed at all :( G'luck, Peter -- This sentence contradicts itself - or rather - well, no, actually it doesn't!
