Hi Anthony,

I'm afraid I can't help with much of the detail here, but I can help
with the .x files ...

    Anthony> * What is the purpose of all of the *.x files?  Why are

They contain the lines of C code necessary to export functions
etc. defined in C to the Scheme world.

    Anthony> * Would it be possible to use the *.x files from another

Yes, because the generated output is platform-independent.

Regards,
