As the previous install-module generated those diff files I assumed
there was a usecase. So I wanted to ensure it still works.

Due to the feedback from the last discussion, I didn't develop it. I can
do so, should be relatively easy in the new 'install-module' (actually
called ftpadmin; install-module would be an alias) 

Instead, I am rewriting some release-team scripts in Python (combining
in ftpadmin).
