Copying custom modules is pretty easy in the latest release of Webmin - in
the Webmin Configuration module on the Modules page is a form for exporting
a module to a .wbm file, which you can then install on the destination server.
There is no way to copy cloned moduled - however, since these are just symlinks,
they can be easily re-created on the target server on that same Webmin Modules
page.
