We do not need a force switch, you can pass an explicitly empty module
list at the command line so you can open the ldb w/o modules, and change
the @MODULES attribute. I've done that multiple times in the past while
playing with modules that would crash in the init function :)

Patch sent in the next mail and Tridge acked on IRC.

Simo.
