Well, there are the modules in kawa/lib/*.scm, but they aren't
very interesting.

Somewhat more interesting is module1.scm in the testsuite directory,
which is imported by obj-test.scm.  In this case module1 is "used as
a module", and we don't care exactly how it gets mapped into a Java
class.  If you care about that (either because you will access
the class from Java or because you will explicitly create instances
of the class using (make ...)), then the Kawa manual describes that.
But the basic idea is that top-level definitions become fields and/or
methods of the class.  You need to use the form
        (define (fname arsgs ...) ...)
to define a method fname.
