You guys might be interested to know that that the committee voted this 
week to create a TR for modules -- essentially removing it from C++0x. 
The major problem holding the feature back was the lack of an 
implementation.  By creating the TR, the pursuit of the feature will 
continue, but an implementation is essential.  Couple questions.  What's 
the status of things?  Any thought of moving over to gcc and 
implementing it there?
