I think that each external module should be kept separate from nginx "core".

An example is my mod_wsgi module, where I provide support for several 
nginx version using patches.

This would be a great thing, but we need the collaboration of Igor, 
otherwise I would consider it just a fork of nginx.

Yes, with mod_wsgi I have learned a lot of nginx internals ;-).

Unfortunately I'm not very good at writing documentation.
However I can start to write single documentation pages for each of the 
nginx "public" headers, and some documentation page for nginx 
"astractions" and main concepts (events, process channels, buffer 
chains, modules and configuration).
