Create a module overview page ala m1

In maven 1 the multiproject site generated a quite useful html table listing all sub-projects (modules) of a project.
With maven 2 I can only find the module links in generated in the menu.
However the name has to fit in the tiny menu and therefore sometimes does not give an idea
of what to expect.
I would like to see a doxia macro that could generate a module overview list showing the modules
with their description. The module names should be a link to the module just as the navigation does.
This would allow to place such a handy overview on the front-page via index.xml / index.apt

The perfect solution would be to have a configuration option to specify the columns of the overview table:
<macro name="modules" columns="ArtifactId,Name,Description"/>
