include libslang-1.4.9 and automatically build it and link erlang-slang against it

few (erlang) people will still have libslang-1.4.9 installed or spend time
to get it to link against the driver

+\function{get_import_module_path}
+\synopsis{Get the search path for dynamically loadable objects}
+\usage{String_Type get_import_module_path ()}
+\description
+  The \var{get_import_module_path} may be used to get the search path
+  for dynamically shared objects.  Such objects may be made accessable
+  to the application via the \var{import} function.

+\synopsis{Dynamically link to a specified module}
+\usage{import (String_Type module [, String_Type namespace])}
+\description
+  The \var{import} function causes the run-time linker to dynamically
+  link to the shared object specified by the \var{module} parameter.
+  It seaches for the shared object as follows: First a search is
+  performed along all module paths specified by the application.  Then
+  a search is made along the paths defined via the
+  \var{set_import_module_path} function.  If not found, a search is
+  performed along the paths given by the \var{SLANG_MODULE_PATH}
+  environment variable.  Finally, a system dependent search is
+  performed (e.g., using the \var{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} environment
+  variable).
+
+  The optional second parameter may be used to specify a namespace
+  for the intrinsic functions and variables of the module.  If this
+  parameter is not present, the intrinsic objects will be placed into
+  the global namespace.
+
+  This function signals an error if the specified module is not found.
+\notes
+  The \var{import} function is not available on all systems.

+\function{set_import_module_path}
+\synopsis{Set the search path for dynamically loadable objects}
+\usage{set_import_module_path (String_Type path_list)}
+\description
+  The \var{set_import_module_path} may be used to set the search path
+  for dynamically shared objects.  Such objects may be made accessable
+  to the application via the \var{import} function.
+  
+  The actual syntax for the specification of the set of paths will
+  vary according to the operating system.  Under Unix, a colon
+  character is used to separate paths in \var{path_list}.  For win32
+  systems a semi-colon is used.
