Grep the slib sources for all instances of "provide" and then generate a new 
file "std/slib/symbol-that-is-provided.scm" that does a (use-modules (ice-9 
slib)), does a (require 'symbol-that-is-provided) and then exports all the 
symbols in the current model to the outside world 

(set-module-uses! %module-public-interface
                  (list (nested-ref the-root-module '(app modules std slib 
symbol-that-is-provided))))

Then rewrite the doc schmooz stuff to generate the portions of the manual you 
need.
