Re: modules.conf newer than

[Statux <statux bigfoot com>]

timestamps are compared on the two files. The logic is: if modules.dep
(module dependencies) has an older timestamp than modules.conf (module
configuration), then its possible that the config is too new to support
the known dependencies. It's probably an unneeded warning, though, since
configs can easily change more often than the module dependencies.
