 *
 * This class is the basis for a more complete module registration scheme to
 * be implemented in future. For now, all modules which are created have to
 * be added to this class individually. The goal is to eventally replace this
 * with a REGISTER_MODULE macro which can be added to the header file for 
 * every module.
