module startup-time should not be that a big issue, 'cause it's only done
once -plus- i don't think it would even be measureable if we did split it
further. (how many cycles would we loose?)

the point of splitting it further is purely to make the modules easier to
maintain and support. the current ext/standard is simply not consistent:
dir.c has it's own function_entry whereby math.c does not. i dont want to
attack this in this very second, but i think it [wcs]ould be a nice goal.
