Thanks to all who replied! This certainly encourages the development.

Whether it will be accepted by the Chicken developers is still a big
question, there are still a lot of issues which needs resolving. But I
will continue to work on this anyway for solving our company internal needs.

I occasionally put the changes on github:
https://github.com/bazurbat/chicken-scheme and
https://github.com/bazurbat/cmake-modules. The support for integrating
Chicken with existing CMake projects is quite solid already. If you are
interested in early access or testing feel free to contact me directly.
