calling XS(function) from C

[Penguinista]

I'm embeding perl in a C program and using swig to generate an
interface. One of the generated functions is XS(boot_module) to
initialize the extension functions in perl, and intended to be called
from perl in a module bootstrap operation. In my case I want to call it
from C code. I've gotten a kludge that to works on my system, but
breaks on a different system. Is there a 'proper' way to make this call?

Did you look how XSLoader does it?
