As Bill pointed out, things "just work" for users right now and that's something
we'd like to avoid breaking. However, that does *not* mean that it is trivial to
do on the build side. We're currently building out an entirely new
infrastructure to support modules; we'd like to take a look at what we did the
first time and see if (with more experience and hindsight) we can do a better
job now, and ideally one we can share between the two approaches.
