Gambit supports the R7RS module system and has a decentralized module system that can automatically download libraries from git repositories. Take a look at the "Libraries" section of the online REPL's tutorial for a few examples, or just type at the REPL:

  > (module-whitelist-add! '(github.com/feeley))
  > (import (github.com/feeley/roman demo))
This paper might be helpful if you want to know why it was designed that way:
