Re: [Chicken-users] There are (module)s and there are (declare (unit s)

It'd be quite useful to see a short tutorial like the one about compiling multiple files in  "Using the compiler" but focused on modules rather than units.  I'm not sure how to use modules and units with shared vs static object files and import libraries.  I'm using trial and error, but there are quite a few varibles.

IMHO, units are effectively obsolete unless you are dealing with such
large volumes of code that Chicken/gcc can't compile them in one go.
It's worth noting that the manual talks in terms of units, but all of
them except "library", "eval", and "extras" correspond 1-1 with modules.
(Some are in separate libraries, some aren't.)  Those three units contain
the definitions for the "scheme" and "chicken" modules.
