I thought about it some more and realised that the "module-library" field
of the module record type is only used to emit (##core#require ...) in
chicken.syntax#import-definition, and ##core#require treats
"builtin-features" as being already linked, which includes the srfis.
It also treats "core-units" as being already linked, which includes
"library" among others, of course.

I think we can simplify this logic by dropping the builtin-features bit,
as that seems like it's a hack specific for SRFIs.  I've filed
https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/1777 for this.  Of course not something
we should do for 5.3.

Cheers,
Peter
