slimserver.pl certainly does attempt to set up @INC to contain the
5.8.x paths followed by 5.8.  Is it perhaps worth adding an option to
display some debug information about the startup process.  For example:
The inherited @INC; the modified @INC; the contents of @modules; the
contents of %INC after the first attempt to load modules; which modules
failed at that stage; and the contents of %INC after the second attemt
using the original @INC.

I also note that GD isn't in @modules.  Should it be?
