At the moment, desktop is actually defined as LSB_All_Modules; reasoning
being, that all defined modules fall under core/desktop.

Rephrasing it a bit, unset/invalid results in LSB_Core | LSB_Graphics |
LSB_Cpp , old was LSB_Core only.

Open to suggestions on that one; offhand, to me it seems a bit odd to
have unset differ from what the core 'product' comprises though.

No changes to -M handling via this patch. Digging into util.c a bit, the
only defined modules are=20

LSB-Core
LSB_Graphics
LSB_Cpp

So util.c needs a bit of an overhaul- long term, I'd rather those
modules were pulled from the db- so next release, manual work isn't
required.
=20
Guessing short term, probably continue the hard coding in util.c and
elfchk.h?

One thing I could use if someone has available, is an updated specdb-
what's in cvs right now seems to lack the 3.1 additions (thus my local
db lacks all 3.1 additions).  Meanwhile, the modules I know about from
grepping a copy of dynsyms.c from rajesh are-

LSB_Core
LSB_Cpp
LSB_Graphics
LSB_Graphics_ext
LSB_Toolkit_Gtk
LSB_Xml

Are there any others I'm missing?

Currently, activated modules are controlled via bit masking;
LSB_All_Modules just sets the field to 0xff, thus no symbols are
filtered (this obviously will break when the number of modules exceeds 8
however).
