Very good, Ashley. I'll integrate your stuff into the trunk ASAP.

Would it be possible to put together a package of GnuWin32 programs so
as to make Chicken building and egg installation reliable on Windows?
I guess that would include make, gzip, tar, maybe cp, rm, mv, and I
don't know what else. That would make it easy for a naive Windows user
to set up and use Chicken.

Attached is a patch (which hopefully the list software allows)
with a makefile and some related mods for building chicken with
Visual C.  This is a gnu makefile and is integrated with the
regular build system, so you'll need cygwin or something similar
to do the build.  



Or something similar, as in msys?  Or should this be called
cygwin-cross-msvc just for truth in advertising?

I think it's important to find out whether the installation
can run on msys.
