If somebody submits a module to the pbi-dev list, we'll take a look at it and commit to the SVN tree. When
a user starts submitting several of them, we'll often try to throw a commit bit their way, so they can
continue to commit directly :)

The PBIUPDATE should be set to "http://update.pbidir.com" for modules we put in SVN, which ensures that
any update checks will query our servers automatically.
