I thought ddb was supposed to know about them already but perhaps that
only works for pre-loaded modules. GDB can be forced to see them but its
tricky - Greg Lehey has some gdb macros to help him get vinum into GDB.

One thing I would like to do with GDB (if I ever get to it) is to fake up
the data structures which it expects to see from ld.so so that it can walk
our module list directly.
