Message-Id: <200803201625.45920.rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date:	Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:25:45 +1100

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] module: neaten __find_symbol, rename to find_symbol.

__find_symbol() has grown over time: there are now 5 different arrays
of symbols it traverses.  It also shouldn't print out a warning on
some calls (ie. verify_symbol which simply checks for name clashes,
and __symbol_put which checks for bugs).

1) Rename to find_symbol: no need for underscores.
2) Use bool and add "warn" parameter to suppress warnings.
3) Make table-driven rather than open coded.
