A similar idea.

Define a syntax for use-modules to pull modules off the net, something 
like

   (use-modules (url://a-url.com library module #:optional a-rev-number))

Update modules on startup.  Cache modules and use last cached version if
internet access is not available.  Create server solution for modules.
Use openID or related to control access to Guile module server.  Use
revision-control-like system to server up proper revision of module.

Also, add syntax for procedure that, when called on local system,
actually execute on remote system.

(use-modules ((url://a-url.com library module #:optional a-rev-number)
              #:rpc external-func))
