[build2] C++ modules: how to generate the modules-list for own library

[Wilhelm Meier]

Actually I'm using the following buildfile:
---
config.cxx = /usr/local/bin/avr-g++

cxx.std = experimental
cxx.features.modules = true

config.cxx.target = avr-none-none

using cxx

assert $cxx.features.modules "no modules support for $cxx.signature"

mxx{*}: extension = mpp
cxx{*}: extension = cc

exe{test00}: cxx{test00}

cxx.modules = std=../../../include/std/std.mpp \
std:array=../../../include/std/array.mpp \
std:cstdint=../../../include/std/cstdint.mpp
---

All module interface units are *.mpp file in the
directory ../../../include/std/.

The main TU is in test00.cc:
---
import std;

int main() {
     std::array<int, 3> arr;
}
---

This gives the following errors:
