Just a min, I think Pavel's concern about reliing on existence of modules was
resolved with this commit:

2009-08-21  Pavel Roskin  <proski@gnu.org>

        * Makefile.in (install-local): When checking if a file is in the
        build directory, use "test -e" to detect symlinks.

        * Makefile.in (install-local): Remove all files in
        $(DESTDIR)$(pkglibdir) before installing new files there.

Pavel, if you could confirm that you're ok with checking for module
existance, maybe Felix' patch can be made simpler.
