   (I presume you are either consing up the path or substituting
   it with autoconf.)

Yes, either way or even both (whatever will work).

   My understanding is slightly fuzzy, but I think that defines
   the guile-pg symbols in the (database postgres) module, but
   will not necessarily export them.

OK.

   The 1.4-style module loading seems to do the equivalent of
   define-public.

Yes.

   I did make guile-pg work with a scheme load file as you write
   above once, and I also had a number of export statements.

So in addition to the above, there needs to be `define-public'
for each proc?  Can that be phrased as an `#:export' clause in
the `define-module' form (prior to the `load-extension' call)?
