Eeek. Modularizing src.zip sounds like a real PITA, although I can see 
why it might be considered. It seems to me we're on the edge of a 
discussion about whether it really is worth it to use modules to 
organize large source code for a lot of fine grained modules, or whether 
modules are just a packaging time issue.
