modules.lst is a static file.  At initialisation time Allegro tries to
load every module in the list and just ignores if it fails.  Actually,
the only reason it exists is that I thought it's somehow more secure
than loading any module that exists in the module directory.  That, and
it allows the system administrator to prevent unwanted modules without
actually deleting them.  I don't think either are very good or useful
reasons though, so if someone can be bothered changing it...
