This is actually not true. There is still a minor use for the AddModule
directive. If there are multiple modules, which do not have a hard and
set order dependance, then AddModule can and should be used to order the
modules correctly. I had originally thought this could be removed as
well, but I no longer believe this is true.

That's what ClearModuleList is for. :-)

mod_auth_db and mod_auth.
mod_rewrite and mod_proxy.
I could come up with more if pressed.

We add them all at startup time. That certainly doesn't obey any particular
ordering whatsoever. :-)
Can you specify a case where the ordering must be controlled with the use of
AddModule? I thought we were past that now.
