It's working.

To get Chicken to link with libffi, I had to manually copy ffitarget.h to
/usr/local/include - apparently make install is not doing this. (libffi-3)

There were a couple of small glitches with the gtk2.egg:

1) gtk2.html is missing; had to remove that from gtk2.setup

2) In the generated file, gdk-types-01, there was an error caused by the
gdk_window_get_type entry.  For now I just removed that entry.  Will have
to track that one down at some point.


Chicken is terrific.  Chicken and gtk+ together are especially terrific.

Thanks,
Glen
