Hi Hendrik,
The module system is Blackhole. Yes, it is separate from Gambit. I volunteered to fix the documentation for Mikael about the use / import confusion, but then didn't – apologies. I also volunteered to write a usage guide for Blackhole for Per (the maintainer) based on some very useful emails he sent me, but I didn't do that either, sorry.
I've just downloaded Openoffice to have a go at fixing the guide. I'll forward the emails from Per on to you as I think you'll find them helpful.
Thanks,
Benjohn
