Er, sorry about this nonsense. Just compiling your module as a unit
will register the module-info at runtime. "import" only loads a file
dynamically, if no module-registration has been done yet, and if
a <module>.import.[so|scm] exists. By compiling your module normally
(that is, without -emit-import-library), the module will be properly
registered and available. Eval still has to do the import, though,
but that should be acceptable.
