Implement modularization in LSB 5.0

Registered by Jeff Johnson

The LSB needs to be modularized to support needs of various stake holders.

Distro providers:
Want a way to be LSB compliant but at the same time set up a server that does
not pull in all the toolkits and GUI things etc. Server applications that are
LSB compliant are not likely to need these GUI binaries anyway.

ISVs:
Can write an application that is LSB compliant/certified, yet only depends on a
subset of LSB interfaces. Creating a dependency on LSB requires the customer to
install many more libraries than are actually required to run the application.
