We discussed it already. Currently there is no mechanism that allows one
*external* module to load another *external* module it depends upon. The
general problem is that it may not be possible to load module (a.k.a.
shared object) before dependent objects have been loaded which means
that dependency information must be encoded OOB. The last statement
(15776) was to simply try to do lazy loading. It means that strictly
speaking no change is needed - module can simply do require_module in
its boot routine. We may first do it for zftp/tcp dependency and if it
works (an systems that we are able to test) code to auto generate these
lines can be added to Makemod.
