Ohhhh yeah.  I ran into the same thing on another thread about 15 down from 
this one..

This is a real problem.  Mangling function names with module names is a good 
idea on the surface, but it makes it impossible to declare a function in one 
module and define it in another without some ugly hacks and serious 
restrictions.

Something needs to be done to solve this, such as not mangling module names 
into the names of functions which are declared "extern."
