In the latter case, I don't see how "module install" picks up the .eb files

I must be overlooking something obvious.
ah, yes, now I understand what you missed: "my copy-pasting?" LOL ;-)
Thanks for confusing me on a hot day like this. ;-)
but, seriously some algorithm could pick up a default choice and try that;
I'm planning to implementing something like that, i.e. make EasyBuild
pick a software/toolkit version if the user fails to specify it.
However, this would basically be best effort -- if it fails (e.g.
doesn't pick the latest version because they don't order well), there's
nothing much that EasyBuild could do about that.
Maybe the LooseVersion command that's part of distutils.version could
help, but I wouldn't spend too much time on it.
If the user fails to specify a version, they deserve what they get. ;-)
