Another yumex related question.

This one should be for Sven.  By poking around in my 
/lib/modules/kernel-version/extras/ directories, I've apparently come to 
the conclusion that my disappearing kmod-ntfs (and kmod-ndiswrapper) 
installs are caused by the same mechanism as the default kernel update, 
wherein only one older kernel is kept while all older kernels are removed.

There was a fix to make it keep the last 5 kernels which I applied, 
unforch I can't now find the file where that particular variable is set.

My question then is, where do I set a similar keepit variable for 
kmod-ntfs and kmod-ndiswrapper?   Last nights reboot to a known good 
working kernel only to find it had been silently emasculated by yum was 
a very unpleasant experience.
