I'm not sure why you want to do this. What is the purpose of
initialising a module that you are not going to use?

If they are extension modules, they do have init* functions, right?
If not, why not?

Just put all these into an array _PyImport_Inittab (or extend the
existing array by PyImport_AppendInittab), and voilá, you have these
modules available to an application.
