If the main structures in modules are just called "modules", then the main
sturcture in the main module can be called "main module".

Don't overthink it.

Also, this way of organizing programs has something in common with the Facade
pattern.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade_pattern

The main module has some function which use other modules, which are not unlike
the "doSomething()" function in the diagram.

Therefore, there is justificaiton in calling X the program's "facade".
