A module is a module is a module.

If we will be having XS modules marked as stated above, i want to
have module ports marked which are already installed w/ a, 'a' as in
any, perl version.

A port's files must have something that can identify it is a XS
port; something in pkg-descr, reference to compiler in Makefile,
pod, etc.
