This was recently discussed on -arch, and was brought into -current
by Warner Losch <imp@FreeBSD.org> in rev. 1.172 of src/sys/modules/Makefile
from 2001/04/02 08:52:05; if there is a MODULES_OVERRIDE variable (defined
either in /etc/make.conf or on the 'make' command line), it overrides
the list of modules to build.  This variable can - and probably should ;) -
contain second-level module names, too - e.g. sound/pcm or syscons/daemon.

G'luck,
Peter
