Regarding export-modulemember, cmdlets appear to be global no matter what. I believe this is probably an oversight. Functions certainly have to be exported.

Turns out the instructions were sitting in the "Author Discussion" tab, which was only visible to me. Sorry about that, here are the instructions:
(new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/6051-102-1-3481/Extensions.psm1") > $env:temp/Extensions.psm1 add-module $env:temp/Extensions.psm1

Updated instructions
(new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/6051-102-4-4112/Extensions.psm1") > $env:temp/Extensions.psm1
add-module $env:temp/Extensions.psm1
Unfortunately this changes with every rev 
We'll have a better process in place before long.
(Note: this requires PowerShell V2 CTP 2.)
I haven't tried these yet but these look very interesting: SVMotion-VM, Get-DatastoreFiles, Register-VM. Good stuff.
Can .psm1 files be used this way? I thought you had to use the Export-ModuleMember cmdlet in order to have these things appear in the correct scope. I could be wrong, have not messed much with modules as of yet.
I do like that you are pushing the bleeding edge though.
