>From a quick glance, your code looks right. The 'modules' section of the
child specification is used by the release handler. It walks the supervisor
trees and uses this section to figure out what modules is run by what
processes. This then allows the system to handle release upgrades by
tracking this mapping and controlling what processes needs to be upgraded.
