Comment:

 I'll be glad to work myself on this feature; however i would like to hear
 your opinions onpossible side effects.
 I consider reloading appModules with python reload() buildin function
 together with cleaning runningTable dictionary. One problem I see is that
 all NVDAObject instances own a pointer to their appModule, which, in fact,
 will mean that old modules will be not garbage collected. Your thoughts?
