Originally, yes. However, they have a few issues:

- Registration of a subsystem has to happen before registration of a module
- No type checking
- Need to recompile the files containing the _static_init_modules macros 
after the configration changes.

I'll replace this later (when introducing support for shared modules and 
actual loading of shared modules) with an improved version (using a 
subsystem_supported() function, perhaps).

Cheers,

Jelmer
