Hi Luis,

As per your suggestion [1], this is an attempt to refactor and split
optional code out of core module support code into separate components.
Unfortunately, nothing has been thoroughly tested yet. Please let me know
your thoughts.

Changes since v1 [2]:

- Moved module version support code into a new file
