And another thing: I removed the section on creating C modules from
docs/scripting.xml. However then I reflected that such a section on
making static modules could be useful.

You can see the contents of the deleted section with
        svn diff -c 9973 docs/scripting.xml
or
        svn update -r 9972 docs/scripting.xml
        (grep for "nse-implementation-c-modules")
Can anyone recommend changes to that section that would make it relevant
to the current module situation?
