14 years ago I have now completely rewritten the permission check (backend not the awesome interface). There is a new hook - hook_permission_check in which a module will return true or false if a user has permission to access it. I have recreated the existing module permissions in this new system.
I have also created a manage database permission for the catalogue module.
Some additional testing is still required.
in module.php - this is bad. It means adding a new module required a change to module.php.
Module specific checks should be run by the module themselves.
