PATCH 1/1 2.4.22 precedes 0.9.9 in module-init-tools of course

Quoted 2 lines

From: linux-2.6.0-test4/Documentation/Changes
o module-init-tools 0.9.9 # depmod -V

Newbie me, I was slow to imagine that depmod -V could be helpfully reporting two independent series of version numbers, the older prefaced with "depmod version ", the newer prefaced with "module-init-tools ".

I wrongly thought that 2.4.22 was 0.9.9 or better, even when I saw the modprobe complaint:
QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

Therefore I propose the following patch.

+Also upgrade your module-init-tools if your depmod -V gives you a
+"depmod version" rather than a "module-init-tools" version.
