Most of the modules are needed to override the same module in the jboss-as 
package in Fedora. The exception is the PostgreSQL module which will be needed 
for any deployment that we do to JBoss AS7, regardless of the operating system.

Let me insist that adding JDBC drivers to the deployment units of applications 
is not a good practice. In addition I am not sure if it will work in JBoss AS7, 
never tested it, but I guess that the application server will not be able to 
load the driver in order to configure the data source. If we do that we will 
probably need to create and manage our own connection pool, which is very 
frequent (unfortunately), but extremely bad practice in the JEE environment.

If in the future we have two applications requiring conflicting versions of the 
JDBC driver then we should fix them, not ship two versions of the driver.

Also, requiring two different versions of the driver (or of anything) will make 
packaging very difficult (if not impossible) in distributions like Fedora.
