Better yet, drop the support for interpreting the '.' as anything but a hierarchial module namespace separator. That is, use this:
[ d ++ mod2dir nm ++ e | d <- dirs, e <- hugsSuffixes ]
The last release rightly supported both old and new style names. We're already committed to dropping the non-hierarchial libraries in future releases. Let's drop non-hierarchial names too.
I'm curious why you want to do that: in recent discussions on glasgow-haskell-users one or two people spoke up in favour of allowing the dotted version, and I was seriously considering adding it to GHC. I can't remember all the reasons off the top of my head though. Cheers, Simon
