I accidentally deleted them when re-posting my message.  The first 
time I sent it to this list without being subscribed, and it was 
unfortunately *silently* dropped.  (I had assumed that postings by 
non-members are moderated.)  Here they are:

Sounds reasonable, thanks for your advice.

Is there any alternative to passing ext_modules?
