ffi-helper: modules and guild

[Matt Wette]

More on my ffi-helper project.  This time about modules and guild 

I am working on a ffi-helper: a program that will read in a C dot-h file and 
generate a Guile dot-scm file which defines a module to provide hooks into the 
associated C library.  I am looking for concurrence on the following:

The paradigm for using the helper is (1) write ffi-module; (2) compile to 
Scheme using guild.

1) I can support module-like syntax like the following:

     mwette$ cat cairo/cairo-svg.ffi
     ;; cairo-svg.ffi                   -*- Scheme -*-

     (define-ffi-module (cairo cairo-svg)
       #:include "cairo.h"
       #:include "cairo-svg.h"
       #:inc-filter (lambda (path) (string=? "cairo" (substring path 0 5)))
       #:pkg-config "cairo"
       #:library "libcairo" ;; not needed when pkg-config fully working
       ;; the following are bent pipe to scm-module
       #:use-module ((srfi srfi-1) #:select (remove))
       #:export (my-cairo-ftn)
       )

     (define my-cairo-hack ()
       (first '(("hello"))))
     
     ;; end of file

2) I can run “guild compile-fyi cairo/cairo-svg.ffi” and get the following

     ;; auto-generated by ffi-help.scm

     (define-module (cairo cairo-svg)
       #:use-module ((srfi srfi-1) #:select (remove))
       #:export (my-cairo-ftn)
       #:use-module (ffi-help)
       #:use-module ((system foreign) #:prefix ffi:)
       #:use-module ((bytestructures guile) #:prefix bs:)
       )
     (define bs:struct bs:bs:struct)
     (define bs:union bs:bs:union)

     (define lib-link (dynamic-link #f))
     (define (lib-func name) (dynamic-func name lib-link))

     ;; here will be ~1000 lines of autogenerated code

     (define my-cairo-hack () (first '(("hello"))))

     ;; --- last line —
