I have a unusual setup here and I need to specify a different module path
with the configuration path.  I need the modules to go in
/lib/modules/spacedout/lib/modules/2.1.127/misc with in place of 2.1.127
the current kernel.  The computer with the sound card is practically
diskless, getting most all files over nfs, and the module directory can't
be shared with the modules on the host machine.

In the configure script it lists,
ac_help="$ac_help
  --with-moddir=/path     give the path for the alsa driver kernel modules
                          [/lib/modules/<KVER>/misc]"

I tried to use the <KVER> tag and it didn't work, and by looking at the
rest of the script it wouldn't work.

Is there a good way to have the kernel version be updated within the
configure script?  I can call the configure script with the current kernel
number in the path I give it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do
it "within" the system.
