I have added 2 paragraphs about such things to the mains aips web page
http://www.aips.nrao.edu
Information about how the files are stored and named and how to install 
them are found there.

and placed the load modules at the aips ftp site

ftp://ftp/aoc.nrao.edu/pub/software/aips/CONTRIB/WSRT/

The load modules are names e.g. CALIV.EXE.lnx64.intel for the 64-bit 
linux version with the intel compiler.
