That option does not allow you to use 2 modules w/ different versions, it 
only "binds" the compiled modules to the kernel (so you do not 
accidentally load modules compiled for another kernel). If you have 
modules w/ the same functionality, use different names, so the modules.dep 
file is created correctly (especially if 2 modules w/ the same name have 
different dependencies)
