Does this mean that I can use a file named 'modules2' to handle my
modules like this? Is the procedure to create a file named modules2
and then add it to CVSROOT and commit?
What will happen if there are both modules and modules2 in CVSROOT,
will they both be evaluated?

Or is the new syntax available inside the old modules file (I guess
not)?

I have updated my server yesterday with the new release, is that
feature available here?
