Nice! I'm curious about "platform" modules. If we packaged up as a jmod 
package, and installed into the system module library then should jmod 
special case the installation of the native libs (or binaries) and 
install them into the image's lib or bin directory than the module 
library? I'm just wonder if we are re-organizing the platform's native 
libraries.
