Description

Currently C code can only be integrated in eggs as part of Scheme files (e.g. by using `foreign-include`). It would make wrapping C code easier to have a separate component type for compiled C code.

Static linking makes this slightly complicated: the static extension may consist of more than one .o file, perhaps static libraries (.a/.lib) should be created, installed and linked to reduce the number of installed object modules.

I believe this has been implemented as `c-object` in 693e13494b9c0e0a2f3979ad8cacf2b9865439e3
