What's up with the pike-requiring modules in the modules directory? Specifically I'm thinking about Gmp, Kerberos, Math and _Regexp_PCRE. All these use cmods and require Pike to be available for compilation.
Specifically, if modules now require pike, why have post_modules? More correctly, make it so nothing in modules require pike to compile. If needed, compile a lesser version of pike to bootstrap modules as needed.
Gmp and Math might be rather important but why on earth would kerberos and _Regexp_PCRE be in modules and not post_modules?
I think the plan is to move post_modules modules into modules once Pike has migrated from CVS to SVN.
There is one drawback with this: the modules no longer can assume a modern (aka, brand new(tm)) pike is available to run their scripts.
This is fine for .cmod-modules, but not nessesarily for the other ones.
