in reply to announce missing modules

You know, there's a module around that does this (naturally :).

It works by overloading use, and intercepts attempts to load modules that don't exists. It then intervenes and downloads, compiles, and installs the module, and then the program picks up where it left off. So it's a bit slow the first time around, but much faster afterwards.

All you have to do is add the use of this module to your program and set things up so that it goes to a trusted machine from which to download the file.

The only trouble is I can't remember for the life of me what it's called...
