Hm. Yes, I in fact had everything in modules.
But I have expected evms to load all the stuff its needed once evms main module
is loaded. 
It would be helpful if help entry on EVMS suggest evms might be loaded as
module, but then all of the other evms modules should be loaded by hand.

Since I am not planning to put my root on a EVMS volume yet, I think I can
go with modules setup, I only need to load all the modules, it seems.

Ok, thank you.  will try that.
