Devfsd already has support for that. If an OPTIONAL_INCLUDE or INCLUDE line
references a directory then all files in that directory will be included.
This is used in the default setup for Debian to include files in the
directory /etc/devfs/conf.d/ .
As for modules, this is done in Debian by having a script named
update-modules which produces a file /etc/modules.conf from files in the
directory /etc/modutils/ .
For Debian these problems have all been solved, if other distributions copy
the Debian solutions then I think everyone will gain...
