#1538: Add egg component type for C code

-------------------------+-------------------------------
 Currently C code can only be integrated in eggs as part of Scheme files
 (e.g. by using `foreign-include`). It would make wrapping C code easier to
 have a separate component type for compiled C code.

 Static linking makes this slightly complicated: the static extension may
 consist of more than one .o file, perhaps static libraries (.a/.lib)
 should be created, installed and linked to reduce the number of installed
 object modules.
