I thought about moving the docs for the modules into the modules
themselves. I mean, we have some basic module argument documentation
already in the sources (PA_MODULE_USAGE()). Should be possible to
extend that a little and then even generate man pages/web site from
that. I.e. Something like PA_MODULE_DOCUMENTATION or suchlike. 

But then again embedding non-trivial text in C is ugly, too many """".

Ideas and patches welcome.
