So I just define my own setsockopt and it will 'overwrite' the existing
one. That'll work. I was not sure if I can just define another function
with the same name and that will overwrite the existing one.

I was looking at

http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/guile-ref/Dynamic- 
Libraries.html#Dynamic%20Libraries

under the title "Modules"
not at "A Whirlwind Tour" where I find under
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/guile-ref/A-Sample-Guile- 
Extension.html#A%20Sample%20Guile%20Extension
the Extension stuff... Thank you very much for the hint.

Ahh. I have not found them. I was looking at ice-9...

Thank you very much for your help.
