[Chicken-hackers] new release policy

[felix winkelmann]

Hi!


The chicken version has been bumped to 2.701, now. There will be
no more "official" releases from now on, just continuously created
snapshots. Mario's automated snapshot builds can be considered
release tarballs just as well (older versions are still available, so there
is no risk of "working" releases being lost).

I plan to have cross-built windows binaries generated automatically
by the same mechanism. Cross-building works, and the
installlation directory can be configured at any time using an environment
variable.

The snapshot generation will currently fail, until it is adapted to the
now build process. This will be fixed soon.


cheers,
felix
