OK, I've implemented the generic module builder. It loops over all
modules, checks each module's dependency to other modules, and builds
those modules first and then the current module. It's pretty cool! Drop
a module under modules folder and just build, no hardcoding in build
files. I introduced a module.xml file too. This file is where you
specify module dependencies, but can be used for other purposes too. For
example instead of coding checkClass() in each SubTask we can define a
<class-dependency>javax.servlet.Servlet</class-dependency> there.

Todo: based on this file generate appropriate docs showing the user
class dependencies of the module and what other modules this module
depends on. I'm not yet up to speed with this anakia/blabla stuff, so
someone else (Aslak?) handle it plz.

Todo: We've discussed contrib modules. My proposal was to define a
contrib.xml file for each contrib. module. Based on it generate
appropriate docs that show the user that it's a contrib. module and not
directly maintained and supported by xdoclet crew. There we provide mail
and site address of the guy who contributed it. Anyone volunteering?
