Description of problem:

I don't know to what extent the Lmod package is supposed to be compatible with
environment-modules, but I've found a number of problems trying it.  Probably
there should at least be a README.fedora or something to explain.  I'd got the
impression from the docs that Lmod was a drop-in replacement, though they
don't say as much.

I had it installed together with environment-modules.  Then I did
"module avail", it took an age to rebuild the cache and then failed because
the result is too complicated.  It appears to have got into a recursion
on /usr/share/Modules/modulefiles/modules which has stopped at some point
many levels down.

After removing environment-modules, various other things go wrong.  User scripts
and rpmbuild macros (%_openmpi_load), for instance, fail because they expect
to source /etc/profile.d/modules.sh.  Also /usr/share/Modules/init/.modulespath
isn't checked, which is the appropriate place to set the path as far as I know,
and at least what's always been used here.

I don't know what the best thing to do is, but I guess Lmod and
environment-modules should be alternatives and Lmod should be made
compatible in those sort of aspects.
