It's just that I was having trouble with libtool when working with
inter-library dependencies in the dynamic-library situation, which are
only supported in the CVS libtool. So I wanted a solution not
involving libtool. (But I have now realized that everything that I
need is there.)

Ah yes, of course. I was simply typing too fast, sorry. (Also thanks
to Martin Grabmueller for pointing this out.)
OK, here is my suggestion for a better deprecation-warning:
Autoloading of compiled code modules is deprecated. Invoke
`dynamic-link' and `dynamic-call' directly to load and
initialize your module, and don't use the deprecated function
`scm_register_module_xxx'.
The C-level function `scm_register_module_xxx' (dynl.h) should be
marked as deprecated; I guess `scm_registered_modules' and
`scm_clear_registered_modules' as well.
Thanks for your help, Marius. (I am now going add a new linking style
to SWIG, so that C-level module initialization code using
`scm_make_module' is emitted.)
