i'm not sure whether c/c needs to keep the list of modules and their commands in
memory, in principle it could also just pass the info directly from the config
manager to bigtool if asked for it

(i'm about ready to try to figure out how that would work, including what to do
when modules get added/removed while bigtool is running, and how to handle the
relationship between commands and optional related configuration data, all of
which are pretty much open questions atm)

seems ok to me (for now? would administrators want some kind of certificate with
asymm crypto here?)
