The "module" Package
    These routines are meant to provide high level routines to perform
    initialisation and execution of generic modules.

  void
 module_run    (int argc, char **argv, char *name_string,
		 char *version_string, flag (*decode_func) (),
		 int max_incoming, int max_outgoing, flag server)
    Initialise and then run a generic module.
Parameters:
- argc : 
    The number of command line arguments.
 - argv : 
    The command line arguments.
 - name_string : 
    The name of the module.
 - version_string : 
    The version date of the module.
 - decode_func : 
    The command line decode function. The prototype function is
    panel_PROTO_decode_func.
 - max_incoming : 
    The maximum number of incoming "multi_array" protocol
    connections. If this is less than 0, no connections are permitted. If this
    is 0, an unlimited number of connections is permitted.
 - max_outgoing : 
    The maximum number of outgoing "multi_array" protocol
    connections. If this is less than 0, no connections are permitted. If this
    is 0, an unlimited number of connections is permitted.
 - server : 
    If TRUE, the module can operate as a server (for at least one
    protocol).
 
Returns:     Nothing. Upon return from the function, the module should exit.

  void
 module_process_argvs    ( int argc, char **argv, flag (*unknown_func) () )
    This routine will process a shell command line, using the
    panel_process_command_with_stack routine.
Parameters:
- argc : 
    The number of command line arguments.
 - argv : 
    The command line arguments. These do not include command used to
    execute the process ( cf. main() ).
 - unknown_func : 
    The function which is called when the command is not
    understood. The prototype function is panel_PROTO_decode_func.
 
Returns:     Nothing.
