Unless the installer drags a C toolchain as a runtime dependency, I don't see how it would make CHICKEN more interesting on Windows for developers (unless you consider "csi runs" satisfying enough). CHICKEN is primarily a compiler. It compiles to C. So, for any practical use of CHICKEN (as a developer, I mean) you need a C toolchain. If you have a C toolchain, why not build CHICKEN itself? It's pretty simple and lightweight on requirements. Besides GNU Make, you don't need anything else you'd need to install an egg or to compile a "hello-world"-style program in Scheme. Best wishes.
