+# A module_dir is a storage place for all the stuff a module might want to
+# store. According to the FHS, this should go to /var/lib. Since this is a part
+# of puppet, the full path is /var/lib/puppet/modules/${name}. Every module
+# should # prefix its module_dirs with its name.
+#
+# Usage:
+# include common::moduledir
+# module_dir { ["common", "common/dir1", "common/dir2" ]: }
+#
+# You may refer to a file in module_dir by using :
+# file { "${common::moduledir::module_dir_path}/somedir/somefile": }
