[wildfly-dev] smaller footprints

[Bill Burke]

Its also "Web" minus some stuff.  For my project I want just Servlet, 
JAX-RS, JPA, and datasources.   Its very very hard to figure out how to 
remove a subsystem and all its associated modules.

BTW, I think my maven artifact thing got into JBoss Modules.  So it 
would be possible to load jars on demand, or at least use it as a way to 
figure out which modules aren't being used ;).
