Added comment on module filename restrictions.
==Modules writing guidelines==
ConTeXt silently truncates all file names in <cmd>usemodule</cmd> and <cmd>input</cmd> commands to 8 characters long and lowercases them to "prevent cross platform problems with filenames". Thus, module files must have filenames that fit those restrictions, or they will (somewhat cryptically) not be found.
<b>TODO</b>
Each module should have an associated specification file (as in [http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml /tex/context/interface/cont-en.xml]). Probably one day this will become a part of [http://texshow.contextgarden.net/ texshow] and will also be easy-to-edit.
