Usually the thing to do is to modify configure.in and then run 
./prepare.  The configure script is automatically generated from 
configure.in.

At any rate, both of them do need to be committed to cvs.  Its a little 
weird that we track configure in cvs since it is automatically 
generated, but it doesn't really hurt anything.

That should be all you need.  The makefile searches for the module.mk 
files automatically.
