I agree that all modules should have their own directory.
As far as the info file goes, we can have one for each module, starting with:
DESC: This is the module description to show in admin/modules
This can even be autogenerated for every existing module by running a one
time script to extract that info from the module itself, similar to what Gerhard
did.
Later, we can add:
AUTHOR: blah
VERSION: blah
DEPENDENCY: blat1
DEPENDENCY: blat2
DBCREATE: blah.sql
...etc.
You get the idea.
