Ah, thank's a lot, the "missing files". I remembered the discussion
but forgot that Marius _did_ post a description of the new interface.
Marius, just one more question: it looks like the signature of 
scm_c_define_module changed slightly since your mail back last may:

 scm_c_define_module (const char *name,
                      void (*init)(void *), void *data)

 - what is the purpose of 'void *data' ?

 - what is passed to the init function in the void pointer and
   what is the function supposed to return?

Should this be documented soon?
