[Neurodebian-devel] [RFC] Should we convert to use 'Modules' (http://modules.sourceforge.net/)?

[Alex Waite]

Yarik,

Just as FYI, last week I ported fsl.sh to modenv. I made it as similar 
to the NeuroDebian version of fsl.sh as possible (comments and all). It 
is very lightly tested, but I pushed it to the fsl repo on Alioth for 
posterity. The script is identical except I prepend rather than append 
the fsl dir to PATH.

This is the one other thing I changed. I warn (loudly) if a 
~/.fslconf/fsl.sh file is found. I'm sure the wording/advice of the 
warning can be improved.
