in that case when we switched out the modules we didn't fully realize
it was missing either until it was too late. IIRC it was "just" a debug
option that was removed?  if we had noticed it in time the option would
have become a no-op which just produced a warning or error message.
(e.g. see 'r.sun lat=')
bugs happen...
