I thought that modules followed the jetty-base-then-jetty-home
configuration resolution rules, but I'd have to try it. When I was
fooling around with Jetty, the idea was that our modules could be
defaulted in our bundled distribution of jetty-base, but added to a
regular distribution by copying, or shudder, via automatic download -
I'd guess we'd have to provide a patch to check signatures ;-)
