I can't, in general, distribute such generated code without the Scheme source,
however, as generated code is not "the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it"; i.e. it is not source at all in the eyes of the 
GPL.

And adding an exception to the egg helps not at all if the underlying dependency
is itself GPLed.
