gnucash fails still, but it gets a lot further.  I think you are
right about the module system.  What I did  places the guile.init
bindings in the module that calls (use-modules (ice-9 slib)), and not
in the slib module, so that some other modules that does use-modules
will not get them - this is what happened in gnucash.

If all modules inherit from guile-user, then that sounds right.  But
this would expose slib's require machinery to all guile programs, even
those that haven't asked for it, and that's not good.


I'll try again, and this time export the symbols from before plus the
new one that precipitated all this.
