It's nice that you made it easily installable by making an egg out
of it.  However, it would be even more easily installable if you
requested a svn account and put it in the egg repository.

If you do that, people will be able to do a simple:

$ chicken-install epoll

and it will be installed.  More importantly, people building eggs
that make use of epoll will also be able to do so.  If I build an
egg called "foobar" that depends on epoll, people will be able to do

$ chicken-install foobar

and it will automatically fetch and install all dependencies,
including epoll and any other stuff I might be using.

Please consider doing this!

Cheers,
Peter
