I have been looking at custom modules to see if they can be used to do folder configuration. Indeed we are already using a custom module and it's under source control and automated build + deploy.

Where I ran aground with using modules was when I realised that there isn't a way to specify multiple folders inside a custom module. It seems to me a custom module just gets added to a folder via the folder type, it does not specify a multiple folder structure. Given that we have a lot of folders it would not make sense for us to do a custom module for each individual folder.

Please let me know if I am missing something cause if there is actually a way to do folders in a custom module we may well go that route.
