The easy way is to provide the package name on the command line:

scsh -o sockets -o locks -o threads
see also
http://www.scsh.net/docu/html/man-Z-H-12.html#node_sec_11.1.5

Another way is to use the package MODULE-SYSTEM in the s48 section of
sunterlib (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sunterlib/). There is a
README file that contains a short docu.

The SUnet project uses this package in its SUrflet server.
http://sf.net/projects/sunet, see there the function
GET-SURFLET-RT-STRUCTURE in scheme/httpd/surflets/surflet-handler.scm
