Summary 0003937: Automatic compiling and installing of 3rd party (custom) modules
Description It would be nice to have some sort of way that if you put a 3rd party module in src/modules (or src/modules/somespecialdir) Unreal would automatically compile it too when doing 'make', avoiding the need to do 'make custommodule MODULEFILE=xyz'.

It would be even better if like 3rd party modules would ship with an extra file or something that would specify if there are any EXLIBS=xyz needed. Like in some blah.c.def file or something.

Basically, this way a user can easily upgrade, or adjust (major) settings, and then do 'make' and 'make install', and everything is OK, rather than having to think each time 'oh wait.. I have to run this and that command too'.
Additional Information Keep backward compatible: keep supporting the current 'make custommodule MODULEFILE=xyz' way, though.

 unreal-3937-with-custom-modules-r0.patch: A cleanup of src/modules/Makefile.in and addition of --with-custom-modules= to ./configure. Oh, I had made modifications to ./Config to integrate with the ./configure part, I'll post them when I remember to find them ;-).

This would be the easiest way of solving the problem of automatically handling users' modules. It makes sense to me to define that list of modules at ./configure time and it's not too hard for a user to re-run ./Config (as long as he uses --with-system-cares and --with-system-tre so that he doesn't have to recompile TRE and cares ;-) ).

 I would much rather want it like I said. If you put the module in a certain directory, that they get compiled automatically. The EXLIBS= stuff as mentioned would then be 'nice' if possible, too.

IMO it's not a good idea to force the user to re-run ./Config when he adds a module.

anope basically does it like I described (except for the EXLIBS stuff, but that would be just a bonus, not a requirement). You drop the module in the dir, and it gets compiled.

Anyway, nothing urgent, 3.2.10 ;)
