That is an idea that's been brought up on the bug, but we need something |
| 12 |
that integrates into the Gentoo framework for switching things around: |

eselect [1]. |

Perhaps one could create an eselect wrapper around modules. It certainly |
| 16 |
couldn't hurt to take a look at modules (via your ebuild) and see |
| 17 |
whether we could adapt it to our needs. |
