Re: Debian guile-1.8 and ttn guile-pg

[David Pirotte]

Hi Thien,

Symbols need to be exported.

Here is [attached] an exemple of the actual guile-pg 0.16-4 
postgres.scm file from the latest debian package.

The exports are done after the load-extension, but I am convinced it 
could be done in the define-module #:export clause, could it not?
