Interesting.  I'm not sure what the intent is for the configuration (setup)
script when the module isn't "active".

It seems that until it is configured it might be desirable to make the 
unconfigured modules as "hidden" or "inactive" or something user's don't
see the unconfigured item in the menus, so I can see a case here for 
showing hidden/inactive items in the configuration menu.

On the other hand, the registry ships with all apps in it, usually inactive,
so maybe showing the inactive modules would just clutter things and cause
confusion for people (why is it showing all these things I don't want and
didn't install???).

So maybe show hidden, but not inactive?  Or not?  What do the others think?
