I think merging this with syslog() features are a good idea. If
something is being loaded every time, mostly likely positions
will be the same upon every boot. If they're not often loaded
modules probably won't be loaded again before you have a chance
to examine the system.

And besides, keeping multiple versions around might give you a
chance to boot a stable version and recover the info without fear
of it being over written.
