   Right.  But an automated builder script, intended for a variety of these   
   environments, still needs to make a determination of what configuration is   
   needed.  The assumption that an environment will not change is not the same   
   as the assumption that all environments are the same.   
      
   But maybe modules still might be needed for many embedded devices, such as   
   ones with end-user pluggable USB ports.

   I like to be concise with things.  Obviously that has its problems with people.
