Added better error handling

* Nice HTML output for errors

 * Cleaned up some @todo's while creating some new ones

 * Added a method for setting the request variable for the module that only the Controller can use

 * Fixed that nasty infinite loop, even though it's not ideal yet.

* out for logic that allows the requested module to specify what display
