I think I'd like to see this with !empty(LOCAL_MODULES) &&
EXISTS(${LOCAL_MODULES_DIR}) or maybe just the latter condition to
prevent accidental foot-shooting... I was testing a problem with doing
this stuff in a poudriere build for swills_at_ and set LOCAL_MODULES=""
only to get an error because LOCAL_MODULES_DIR doesn't yet exist on
the machine I was testing with -- which we can trivially avoid.
