Hmm, ok. ImportModule is in the embed demo, which is why it's in my code as
well. Removing it seems to have no effect, so it's gone. ;>

Thank you thank you thank you! I was staying away from the import command,
as I mistakenly thought it would try to load a module called xyzzymodule.o
or something. I guess I need to read up the docs some more. Anyway, that's
shattered the last little barrier for me, I can proceed with my embedding. I
owe you a pint! ;>
