Thanks a lot.

Wel, I'd throw in this:

 (declare
  (uses utils)
  (disable-interrupts)
  (block)
  (usual-integrations)
  (fixnum) )

The require can be done at compile-time, and the declarations
will speed up the whole thing. This program can safely be compiled
in benchmark mode (-Ob).

Performance isn't great, but that's due to the fact that Chicken hash-tables
and file I/O is somewhat slow.


cheers,
