Thanks a lot.

Some comments on the packaging:

* (version ...) in .meta files is not used by chicken-install.  Only the
  form in .setup is used.  I'd suggest removing (version ...) from
  .meta, otherwise people may start copy&paste'ing it, and we'll end up
  having one more file to update in case of version update (or one more
  place with inconsistent information, in case it is not properly
  update).

* instead of (author "foo, egg by bar"), you can use (author "foo")
  (maintainer "bar")

* Why do we have a tarball into the git repository?

All the best.
Mario
