module-info.java just causes problems

I don't understand the problem with the module-info.java class. We also 
repackage jars to add module descriptors (for OSGi, Maven and JBoss 
Modules) and for Jigsaw we generate the `module-info.class` file when we 
need to repackage them. Between this binary format and XML or 
MANIFEST.MF, I don't see why it makes a big difference?

I wouldn't recompile the module, though, just as I don't recompile them 
when we change the other manifests.
