        Glad to hear it!

        Well, Chicken now contains the debian/ directory, currently used
        to facilitate the creation of unofficial `.deb's.  Perhaps you
        shold review it.

        I've suggested to link Chicken against the host version of PCRE
        instead of the one supplied with Chicken itself [1].  Felix has
        recently committed a patch [2] which simplifies the change.
        Could this change be adopted for the official Debian package?

        There's a small thread starting at [3] which points a few
        problems with the current Debian packaging.  Could you please
        review it?

        I hope to make some patches (namely, `srcdir' support and
        `CHICKEN_LIBRARY_PATH' support) soon, which may be of a
        particular interest to the Debian users.

        Strange enough.  Hope you'll receive this one.
