modules/modhelp.py has been there since 2015, so we already do.

I started off writing this in bash, but it's such a pain that I ported
it to python which ended up much nicer. Given that this file has about a
15-20 minute run time, this seemed a useful thing to me. As it happens
it was also easy to make it go quicker which is important because it
means that I can do the build in the evening, rather than over two
evenings.

It only has to run in a single environment, and that environment has
python3. I'll probably port build-zips.sh at some point as well.
