The developer documentation has a section on how to create a interface
module. It is fairly up to date. Basically the modules has to have
add_capability( "interface", <some number> );
in the module header. when -I is not used the interfaces are tried in order
from highest number to lowest. when -I is used modules whos name (as defined
in modules.am) match the parameter to -I or who has a shortcut (defined with
add_shortcut(); ) that match is considered first (again in order of the
number).

The module selection is done in the module_need function
