Summary:                    lin sometimes reports invalid module names only
after dependency resolution
Description: 
When linning something, if one of the modules given does not exist, it will
report this (and exit) only after doing dependency resolution for all
modules preceding it on the command line. For most things, this is largely
a nonissue, but if you do something like:
# lin XOrg7 xawtb
It will spend half an hour doing dependencies for XOrg7, and only
afterwards say "unable to find module xawtb".

Possible fix: verify the existence of all modules specified on the command
line before proceeding to dependency resolution.
