In general, its not a useful module for people who are running in an
operational environment, so it's not included by default.  However, it
could be built as a dynamic plugin and I've thought about that before
but we have yet to develop the auto-infrastructure to make that happen
(plus it would require dlmod support on the architecture being tested,
and its not supported on all architectures)
