[modules] plug-in survey lurches forward: Apache breaks the ice

folks,

excerpt of Apache entry plus revised attributes list below.  i'm
guessing it's easy for programmers if guile compiled modules avoid (0C
0D) and stick w/ (0E).  what do you think?  please review and let me
know if i goofed somewhere.

now's also a good time to ask: what would you like to see in terms of a
"build-guile-compiled-module" tool (i.e., command-line args, etc)?

next on the list is perl, but i'm going to skip to python instead; i
remember perl plug-in system being very hairy from swig dayz...
