I just took a quick look at cmod. I like the simplicity, but it's
module syntax is way too simplistic for our needs. Using a real
programming language (even if it's TCL :-P) for the module
descriptions is very helpful, sometimes even required. But our
environment is quite complex (~90 modules, each with several versions,
many dependencies, 5 supported platforms), I can see that cmod would
do fine for smaller sites.
