This is excellent work, Evan!  It must have been a massive amount of
work to do this, while keeping everything working correctly.

Yeah, this stuff is pretty ugly and might be in need of a rewrite.
It's just too hairy IMO :)

That's fine, since we'll probably end up using a different module
breakdown later on.

This has been merged into the chicken-5 branch.  I've also updated
the DISTFILES definition in order to clean up the generated import
files as well, which is something I forgot to do in my compiler
modularisation branch.  I've added your new generated modules as
well, of course.

Many thanks!

Peter
