Please correct my understanding if these facts are incorrect:

* The salmonella test suite is run using the master branch of
  Chicken.  (rather than the experimental branch or perhaps
  a release branch)
* The last commit to the master branch was commit
  a2f2efb84fb7f6136b0cbd50f2f8302240b3b825 on Sun Dec 5 2010.
