Module manager

I added a module manager, uh, module, to Artful Code. It lets you define dependencies between modules so that they are only loaded once. All of the Artful Code modules' dependencies are added as well (

Haven't had time to look at it thoroughly, and won't for a couple of days,
but have been using something similar since I started using newlisp.
(blocks accidental redundant loads) - I consider blocking of redundant loads
to be absolutely essential, and I also wrote (do mod reload) to
cause an explicit reload......
I'll look at your code soon, I know there is a bug in mine...
thanks

I think that is a great improvement for newLisp.
I will try to check it as soon as possible. If it works well, I think it could be even included in the official newLisp distribution!

The link below is literally the first working code that I wrote in newlisp.
http://www.johnsons-web.com/demo/newlisp/init.lsp
Two public functions are:
modules
do
'modules loads a list of libraries, can be symbols, if so - coerced
to a string and ".lsp" appended.
Theoretically :-) a library can be only loaded once, blocking
redundant loads. - If one does not use 'load
'do can override this by passing a 'reload argument that evaluates
to true.
Comments welcome, haven't had time to check out Jeff's work, I think
that he takes a more sophisticated approach.
thanks
