How to expose a c/c++ module to Espruino JS?

For example, the jswrap_hello.c defines the 'Hello' class , it has a method 'world()', then we can do in Espruino:
```
Hello.world();
```
How to expose 'Hello' as a module just like 'net' or 'Wifi'? I mean 'Hello' can be required like this:
```
var hello = require('Hello');
hello.world();
```
or
```
require('Hello').world();
```

Thank you, Gordon.

"type" : "library" , for a built-in module as a library,
and in JS code: var m = require('yourmodule');

"type" : "class" , for a built-in module as a Object,
and in JS code: yourmodule.method();

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
