Description
This can be seen with the prometheus egg.
Just run csc -s -j hermes hermes.scm and you'll see it will have written both hermes.import.scm and _hermes.import.scm; the latter wasn't requested, and this in fact clobbers the custom hand-crafted import file with a generic one, which breaks the egg.
As a workaround, the import libraries are now shipped with the egg instead of emitting them every time the libraries are compiled.

This is so silly: after all this time, it turns out that the bug was just an unexpected behaviour of s48-modules itself: it contained a strange hack to force the compiler to emit import libraries for the _-prefixed modules!
Since the user can request this him- or herself, and is told to do so in the egg's manual, I think removing this behaviour is the best solution. This is done with the change in [29502].
