Like this:

    void
    my_module_init (void *unused)
    {
      scm_make_gsubr ("foo", 0, 0, 0, foo);
      scm_make_gsubr ("bar", 0, 0, 0, foo);
      ...
      scm_c_export ("foo", "bar");
    }

    void
    create_my_module ()
    {
      scm_c_define_module ("my module", my_module_init, NULL);
    }

`scm_make_gsubr' already uses scm_define internally.  (I'd say, it
shouldn't).  We could certainly improve upon this pattern.  The
snarfer can help, too.  But for now, I'd like to concentrate on the
basics.
