Since export.h does not exist for most people, I'm OK adding it
in instances like this as a post-merge patch.  For instances where
it is obvious that the full module.h is required, I'd rather the originator
of the new module dependent code simply add the required module.h
themselves. (I think this is consistent with what Stephen has been
recommending to people on a case-by-case basis anyway).

I can/will temporarily add the module.h cases to the post-merge queue
too, but my intention is to move as many of these post-merge commits
off to the sub-maintainers as possible.
