+
+This directory includes an example program for extending Guile with a
+new (and even useful) data type, putting it into a shared library, so it 
+can be called from an unmodified guile interpreter. Further, the shared 
+library defines a new guile module.
+
+To build the example, simply type
+
+  make libbox-module
+
+in this directory.
+
+A box is simply an object for storing one other object in.  It can be
+used for passing parameters by reference, for example.  You simply
+store an object into a box, pass it to another procedure which can
+store a new object into it and thus return a value via the box.
+
+Box objects are created with `make-box', set with `box-set!' and
+examined with `box-ref'.  Note that these procedures are placed in a
+module called (box-module) and can thus only be accessed after using
+this module.  See the following example session for usage details:
+
+Extend your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable (or equivalent) to include . and
+.libs 
+
+If you like this example so much that you want to have it available
+for normal usage, install the dynamic libraries in the .libs directory
+to the directory $(prefix)/lib
+
+Note that after loading the extension, an explicit call to use-modules
+is needed to make the exported procedures available.
