While I'm still not immediately sure exactly what these modules are,
what I can say is that under the changes I have made, and continue to
make with this patch, the worst case scenario is:

1. You have to drop both the foo.dll *and* foo.addin.xml into bin/
2. You have to embed foo.addin.xml into foo.dll, and then drop it into bin/

Neither one is onerous or really even much different that what we do now.

Cheers,
