This is the code of the plugin right? and register-plugin is a
function provided by me for the plugins to call? But i'll still need
an entry point inside the plugin: a procedure that i'll call from the
module as soon as i load it. So this approach doesn't seem to be of a
big advantage.

I think I have figured-out a way out of this visibility problem:
(define amodule (resolve-module '(amodule)))
((variable-ref (module-local-variable amodule 'xchat-plugin-init)))
This code seems to work and there is no need for the plugin to
export it's objects anymore.

Wait a sec? Are you really thinking what i think you are thinking:
use the simple 'load' procedure combined with your suggested
registeration API instead of using the module system of guile?
