It should be possible to modify the test harness to do this automatically by 
grepping the source for "^module [a-z0-9_]*". I'd prefer this over adding 
explicit annotations.

All the testcases are self-contained. ie. we can remove the module as soon as 
that test has finished. Any two tests using a modue with the same name is a 
[potential] bug.
