| MODULAR:attempt to autoload system call if not present
No, looks right to me. Actually the list is inconsistent right now (lfs for
example) so if you auto-gen it, it will be better.
Yeah, the existing inconsistencies concerned me. They'll just get worse
if we continue with manual maintenance of the auto load table.
