You can use mzc to byte compile any .ss file.  If (most of) the code is
in a collection, you can create an info.ss file, so setup-plt will compile
the collection.  Check help-desk for mzc and for info.ss.

Put the big library in a module.  Actually, the module won't be reloaded if
you change it.  This can be a problem.  I'll see if I can fix that.

Same as 2.  Functions are data, too :-)

The best places to look for now are
 a) the documentation the server serves by default
 b) the doc.txt file
 c) our ESOP 2001 paper at
    http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/index.html#esop2001-gkvf

Thanks for the interest,
