Summary: A small helper to load required modules upon missing device inode lookup

Description: 

modules_lookup is a small bash script with configurable behaviour
which actually work somewhat similar to devfsd: it loads required
modules and performs other actions when a program tries to access
a missing device inode within /dev.

Unlike devfsd which works on top of devfs (proclaimed obsoleted),
this script is intended for a patched version of tmpfs, which
supports user-level helper for missing device inodes lookups
(using http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.0/1568.html)

Be sure you've checked /etc/modules_lookup.conf before actual
usage of this script. Author gives no warranty of any kind ;-)
