Slow down... :)

As mentioned orc-irc is meant to be generic so it's still not quite
right. I sent an email to you and Carsten about having a loadablep (bad
name?)  function exposed by the module which would give it a chance to
do some requires and setting up too. Might be interesting to look at the
ERC code and check how they do it...

Here is my (rough) suggestion again:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 (defun org-load-module (module-name)
   (let ((sym (intern (concat module-name "-loadablep"))))
     (if (fboundp sym)
         (when (funcall sym)
           (require (intern module-name)))
         (error "org modules must have a -loadablep defun."))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Cheers,
Phil
