Right. I was saying that we already create the .conf file at configure
time, so we could create the .module file then too.
But then again... why? My proposal for discovering where SoftHSM2
resides was just to look for an existing p11-kit module file in the
system's configuration. And if we're going to require that the distro's
packaging of SoftHSM is correct and installs it with a p11-kit .module
file... then why do we need to bother messing with $HOME and providing
our own in the first place?
Let's just drop the whole nonsense and rely on the system packaging
SoftHSM2 correctly. Does that seem reasonable? I suppose we could also
add a --with-softhsm2= configure argument, but I'd prefer not to.

Without a comment explaining why it's done, that *is* going to get
broken again in future. And I'm confused — what *is* the requirement?
It can't be that dash doesn't let you set more than one environment
variable at a time in the command line before the executable, because
it's still setting both $HOME and $LD_PRELOAD. So what's going on? I'd
quite like to see an explicit reference here to either the POSIX shell
specification, or a filed dash bug.
