Summary:                    selection of optional modules is weird
Description: 
Right now, if a module A is installed and it is an optional depend for
module B, the config for B will not ask me if I want support for A. This
is problematic. Ex: I have xml installed. I modified php to ask me if I
wanted xml support but because xml/expat is already installed, it does not
ask me. What if I did not want to compile php with xml?  I recommend
commenting out line 193 of /var/lib/lunar/functions/depends.lunar. This
way it will always ask if I want moduleX as an option instead of assuming
(ususally) wrongly

Fixed in theedge, please hold on until the changes get merged back into
lunar in due time.

please note ALSO that some optional dependancies cannot be disabled
because of some of the configure scripts checking for features instead of
trusting the passed parameters. You'll have to resort to removing the
optional_depends before linning the module.
