This is a good opportunity to make a little publicity about the "module
set" feature
I have been thinking about. You will never get an agreement on what the
minimal default set should be. 

There should be an arbitrary number of module sets and an option to
auto-clone modules
missing on disk. That would make everybody happy.

The first step is to separate the modules list from build.sh. This means
build.sh has no module list at all.
Users can create module sets in addition to the one that came out of
build.sh.

It won't be as easy as it sounds. The module set specification must also
supply host/cpu information
for some modules (e.g. video-geode).
