Also, some people may wish to fall back to the older modutils, since
the one shipped with "bo" is for "Linux-2.1.18 and above kernels".
(In particular, kernels compiled with the newer modutils are
incompatible with commercial kernel modules, like afs.)
If we kill rex, we should make a place for old, but still useful
packages.
