Description Philip Pokorny 2007-05-09 00:13:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
--show-deps sets a flag to ignore /proc/modules completely, but if we would like
to know what commands would be run when a previous or alternate set of modules
was loaded, then we need to provide the alternate contents of /proc/modules.  A
command line argument to specify an alternate path for /proc/modules is
relatively simple to implement.
