"""genLoadStdModules.py.

Create the python module TUI.LoadStdModules
and function loadAll()
to load all of TUI's standard window modules.

This speeds startup (over searching for modules
at startup) and potentialy simplifies distribution
as prebuilt packages by allowing TUI's python code
to be run from a zip file.

On the down side, one must remember to run this file
and thus regenerate LoadStdModules whenever the list
of TUI's standard windows modules changes.
