This is why Warner's X-resource-like proposal is the only method for 
passing parameters to modules that I am likely to accept.

argv/argc and getopt() are just not good enough.

If someone want to implement a simple resource matcher, you could start 
by coming up with a tiny, tidy glob() for the kernel.  We can use it 
elsewhere as well...
