You essentially never need to do that, because Chicken compiles
into C
anyhow, so just write in Scheme and leave it at that. Speed is a
great
advantage of Chicken over the usual "scripting languages".
There is also the 'crunch' Chicken compiler. It takes an R5RS subset
related to numeric & character vector/scalar & does a tight job. A
decent choice for some algorithms.
Available as an "egg."
I guess (but maybe I'm wrong) that in some case, code written
directly in
C will be better than the C generated by chicken.
How is the readeability of the chicken generated C?
The GNU C compiler can parse it just fine. But if you are not a C
compiler, well, see http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/chicken-compilation-
process.

BTW, I guess should have asked if Windows is a desired hosting
platform. But it seems you answered anyway.
