<pre>I'd like to vote for this bug to be closed.
The --modules option is documented, in its man, to be used only for testing. A
developer using the --modules option would know to simply re-run weston without
specifying the particular module.
End-users incorrectly passing an 'invalid' module as a --modules option would
be advised to observe what is documented in man.
The original context of this bug is due to incorrectly specifying a --shell
module as a --modules option.
Otherwise, to honor this use case, we'd have to implement additional logic in
compositor.c that:
1) Checks the module to be sure it is a valid option for --modules, and if it
isn't, prints a helpful message before quitting.
2) Ignores the loading of the valid, specified --modules module and continues,
rather than causing weston_load_module to return NULL and quitting.</pre>
