Fair enough, and I only have one single case in all of my servers
where the modules file is used. It contains these lines:
SSCommon SSReceiver/Source/common
SSDocs SSReceiver/Doc
StingPlus &StingPlusBase &SSCommon &SSDocs

What would happen to this module (StingPlus)?
It utilizes the SSCommon and SSDocs modules and we expect them to
check out right below the StingPlus main module (there should be 3
submodules in level 1 below the main module).
