I notice that the 2.315 tarball does not distribute chicken.css.  Oddly, 
I cannot grep any reference to chicken.css in the source tree.  Once 
upon a time I thought I saw something in a generated ./configure file 
somewhere for it, but now I can't find it.  Please explain its purpose?  
It looks like some kind of double secret implicit makeinfo sort of thing.
    

It's physically incorporated into the HTML files of the Chicken manual.
  

So what's the build method?  I don't find anything resembling an "include chicken.css" in chicken.texi, nor any reference to it anywhere in the Darcs tree.

Also chicken.pdf is distributed but there's no way in the Darcs tree to 
build it as far as I can see.  Please rectify so that CMake can create 
tarballs with chicken.pdf in 'em.
    

The trouble is that carrying around a portable PDF-generation program
is more trouble than it's worth.

  

I don't care about Darcs having a program in it.  I care about Darcs having a build method in it.  I'm perfectly capable of installing whatever programs are necessary for the .pdf generation, or stubbing them if due to cost or complexity I can't install them.  Also I don't see why chicken.pdf itself can't be in Darcs.
