moodler 1b5910c4a5 Trying a different tack for recent_activity since the old way was
still producing too much data and overflowing PHP memory on busier
sites (eg moodle.org).

Now, there are more database queries, which is unfortunate, but the
data is much more specific, and no sorting needs to be done, so
this is a performance boost.

I don't know how these will cancel out ... my guess is that very
small sites may be very slightly slower on the course page, but
that large sites will be much faster.

Let's see.

This directory contains all the learning modules.

Standard components expected of each module:

  mod.html: a form to setup/update a module instance

  version.php: defines some meta-info and provides upgrading code

  icon.gif: a 16x16 icon for the module

  db/mysql.sql: an SQL dump of all the required db tables and data
 
  index.php: a page to list all instances in a course

  view.php: a page to view a particular instance

  lib.php: any/all functions defined by the module should be in here.
         constants should be defined using MODULENAME_xxxxxx
         functions should be defined using modulename_xxxxxx

         There are a number of standard functions:

         modulename_add_instance()
         modulename_update_instance()
         modulename_delete_instance()

         modulename_user_complete()
         modulename_user_outline()

         modulename_cron()

         modulename_print_recent_activity()
