Modularizing the IPV4 code

I seem to recall some minor discussions about modularizing the
code in net/ipv4. Is anyone already taking a stab at this?
This would make it a lot easier to perform experiments on the code
(just recompile the module, no need to reboot). If not I'll probably
take a look at doing this on the coming weekend. (Probably I'll just
modularize the experimental code that pedro is releasing).

While I'm talking about modules, has anyone else noticed that if
you run "make modules" twice in a row all the modules get recompiled
the second time. It seems to me that only those modules that depend
on files that have changed should be recompiled. Anyone have a fix
for this before I look into it as well? Have I overlooked something
in the make files?

Cheers,
