[ITP] chicken-3.4.0-1

[Nathan Thern]

Despite not being an official package, chicken (a scheme compiler and
interpreter) has compiled OTOB on cygwin for several years now. I
think it would make a good addition to the distro.

Version 2.3 is currently in Debian stable [1]. Version 3.2 is in
testing [2]. Version 3.4.0 is 2 incremental upgrades beyond what is in
lenny, but there have been no significant changes in functionality or
architecture. Also, the Debian packages are needlessly divided into
bin/dev/lib packages. Chicken is small and is intended for
development. It is best kept as a single package.

Packaging looks good.  I've uploaded it into the distro and noted you as
the official maintainer in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-pkg-maint
Please send an announcement mail to cygwin-announce according to
http://cygwin.com/setup.html#submitting


Thanks,
Corinna
