I don't agree. They're not separate things, they are _built in_. Plugins
and themes are separate packages and so they get their own subdir. 

There won't be many built-in modules, just very simple basic ones like
the clock and the waste basket. Actually the simple mailchecker fits
here as well, but I made that a plugin as an example implementation and
proof of concept. 

I don't think there will be anymore of them, so the file remains easy
enough to read.

I prefer the directory structure to be as flat as possible, so that
means no superfluous src directory.
