The box example is meant to be simple, so I don't think I want to
extend it further.  Instead, I plan to add more example
subdirectories, with one being called `module-box' which implements
the box data type again, this time placing the definitions in a new
module (examples module-box).

(BTW: scm_register_module_xxx is deprecated and is replaced by newer
primitives.  I'll make an example for that too.)

Another candidate for a new example directory.  I'll see what I can
do.
