The method I usually use is to have two separate module.info files, one
for the webmin module and one for usermin. The usermin file has
usermin=1 in it, while the webmin file does not. Your code can then
check for this, and behave appropriately. In perl web/usermin modules
this is really easy - the global hash %module_info contains all the
optoins from module.info for the current module, so you can use code
like :

if ($module_info{'usermin'}) {
	# usermin stuff
	}
else {
	# webmin stuff
	}
