Probably, but is size the problem, or maintainability?

You don't have to change anything in the modules themselves. Just like
how you don't have to change Procmail's source in order to use it.

If you feel comfortable by adding lines to config files all the time,
and maintaining those large files which you have to build yourself, by
all means continue to do so.

But if you do, don't whine about it. Adding "only one more line" (re
