Re: 2 new commits to Bering-uClibc

HI all;

maybe we can make a step backwards in this discussion and can think about my 
proposal to reduce the pain:

"The whole pb started here AFAIK:
"Modules that are copied manually, should be saved. Modules that are 
loaded from squashfs aren't added to moddb.tgz to reduce it's size."


Now we can argue that a user who has enough space for leaving modules.sqfs on 
his boot media, will have enough left for a bigger moddb.lrp than necessary 
(except those booting from iso image, who can't remove modules.sqfs).
 
There is a case to remove modules.sqfs even beyond space, to speed up boot 
time, so autodetection stops immediately due to "missing modules.sqfs".

So if we go back and never write anything to /var/lib/lrpkg/sqfs.modules we 
can get rid of the changes to update moddb properly, addinga config option to 
leaf.cfg  etc...
Andrew,  will there be any other issues related to such a change?"
