PL/Java does. No source needed. So yes, there's already a fairly good 
API that assists in the module build process. It does however still 
include all header files needed by the backend and thus, leaves the 
backend wide open (in a matter of speech). If a refactoring effort was 
to start later on, that would be a good place to start. I.e. divide 
headers into the ones available for external modules and the ones for 
internal backend use only.
