Hello James,

Very cool that you're using CHICKEN!

Modules do not exist after compilation.  However, you can extract
the module definitions into a module import file (via the -j or -J switch
for csc) and load that through (import foo).  This may be a little
unfortunate as it makes module-environment less useful, and you will
have to split up your files.

This is what I understand of it, but maybe someone more knowledgeable
about the module system can correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
Peter
