I have no plans on adding depmod or modprobe to busybox.  Folks that
want to use these will want to get and use the modutils package.

You might ask why?  Well, I think the modutils versions do a good job, and are
well maintained.  For busybox, having the ability to do an insmod and rmmod is
sufficient for the vast majority of embedded systems.  So far, my feeling has
been, those that need more then that can just use modutils.
