Wow, nice!
modpost really does want all the modules at once, so it can check for
unresolved symbols. So xargs is out, we need to implement stdin-reading
directly.
Bikeshedding on the option name reveals no established standard:
-S/--stdin-file-list in shar, -T/--files-from=i in tar, --files-from=-
in rsync.
Now, if someone can find a better way of getting the module list into a
file/stdin, I'm all ears. I'm not sure the find works in all cases...
Thanks,
Rusty.
