curious about /boot/module-info file

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday mindspring com>]

  can anyone provide a pointer to an explanation for the
/boot/module-info... file that comes with the pre-built
RH kernel RPM?  where does this file come from?  what is
its function, and what will happen if i remove it?

  is there another one generated when i build a new kernel?
(doesn't seem to be.)  would i ever need to change it?

  any pointers appreciated.
