[development] An automated way of locating unused modules?

I don't think you'd even need a module to do this. You can get a list of
currently used modules by doing:

SELECT name FROM system WHERE type='module' AND status='1';

You could likely write a quick script to compare the list returned by that
SQL statement to your modules list.

Thanks,
Cameron
