[patch] build.sh: Resuming the build at a specific module

[Felix Kühling]

Hi,

it has always annoyed me when a modular build with build.sh failed
somewhere in the middle. It usually meant a lot of waiting for
everything to rebuild (or at least reconfigure) until it finally got
back to the place where it had been failing before. The attached patch
adds an option '-r' that allows you to resume the build at a specified
module. It comes in really handy after fixing a broken build somewhere
in the middle. Example:

   util/modular/build.sh -r driver/xf86-input-evdev /home/xorg

would resume the build at the evdev input driver, skipping all 174
modules that would otherwise be (re-)built first. ;-)

Any objections to committing this?

Regards,
  Felix
