I plan on shipping chicken in a drag 'n drop application where users  
wont even necessarily know scheme -- is it possible to build-in eggs  
into the chicken lib i link to, or to redirect loading precompiled  
eggs to a repository under my app directory? if either of those are  
possible that would be great.

on the other hand, it seems to me that if chicken doesnt want people  
to type 1/2 unless the numbers egg is loaded then it should signal an  
error, otherwise, if it doesnt care, then it shouldnt continually nag  
them about it so that they cant do it unless they go hack the  
system's code and rebuild. for example, sbcl nags all the time but  
you can gag it without rebuilding the system, by doing (muffle- 
warnings ...)
