format-out is exported from several modules:

The format-out module in the format-out library.
The format-out module in the io library.
The simple-io  module in the common-dylan library.
The simple-format module in the functional-extensions library.

and maybe others.  I guess this can be confusing, but it provides
some flexibility in how things are packaged.  The IO library is
basically a repackaging of a bunch of I/O related modules such
as standard-io, format, format-out, streams, etc.

I think the only libraries that are standardized are the "dylan"
library and the "common-dylan" library.  Standardized, basically
means that the Functional Developer and Gwydion Dylan implementations
agree on them.

Incidentally, the airport example compiles for me with no changes
in FunDev 2.0 SP1.  It uses format-out:format-out:format-out, but
it also compiles fine using format-out:format-out:io.
