no. modules *ARE* patches. they don't need patches. they *ARE* patches. patches
need to be updated relative to the code they depend on. we don't maintain a
stable api/abi within enlightenment - it's not a library like the efl libs are
with a stable api/abi for development. e's internal api/abi moves and changes.
modules have to adapt to keep working like any patch does.
