Module file parse API

[Chris Hegarty]

Paul gave me some feedback off list. Updated the webrev, same location:

  * ModuleFileParserException is now a RuntimeException
  * Fixed up javadoc example code
  * Some minor bug fixes
  * Method naming consistency

I see this as step one in a phased approach to the reader/writer API's. 
There is still work to be done to clean up the Reader ( now really an 
Installed/Extractor ), the *Header types, and obviously the writer.

What I would like is get this first set of changes in ( if others agree 
with the API ), and then address the above outstanding issues with 
further commits.

Thanks,
-Chris.
