             nThis:


The build system has a 'describe' task that will svn cat the description.txt
file of any module.  This is a good start, but only the ppod module has a
description.txt file.  Furthermore, the description.txt file is located in the
root of the module instead of in the module-info directory where such metadata
should probably reside.  

To close this bug:
-The description.txt file needs to be redesigned to include the following
fields (whoever works on this should evaluate and probably use the kepler
documentation format for this):
  1) Title
  2) Description
  3) Author*
  4) Related Modules*
-The description.txt file should be located in module-info
-All modules should have a valid description file and all core modules must
have a description.txt file
-Modify the list-modules task to print the description, name, etc of every
module in the system.
