Would you like an SVN account, so you can check in your code and manage
it?  If so, just send me a private message indicating a username and a
hash of your password, which can be generated with:

  $ openssl passwd -apr1

I'd suggest naming the egg in a way it doesn't sound as general as
"faster I/O primitives".  Maybe it's just me, but when I read "fast-io",
I instinctively think that Chicken's I/O primitives are slow and by
using fast-io I'll get faster I/O for any case.  Again, it's only a
suggestion, maybe it's just me.

Best wishes.
