Short answer - Just return all output like "return $content".  Don't 
display any output directly.

index.php for the basic module public access.  Ideally the only one.

Blocks should be another php file similar to index.php and called via a 
module block option.  This way we don't have to register new block types 
for each new module.

admin.php - any needed administration functions - This is the basic 
layout for internal modules.
