[Chicken-hackers] stability/4.8.0 test release available

[Jim Ursetto]

I've uploaded a test distribution tarball of stability/4.8.0 [1].  This should 
contain everything
that will go into 4.8.0.1 unless we find a problem.  If anyone would like to 
test it,
it would be appreciated.  I also pushed the patches to the throw-away 
tmp/stability/4.8.0 branch [2] in my github account.

You can see what's included by looking at NEWS [3] or NEWS.stability. [4]
