Thank *you* for being so persistent. Most people would've given up after
a few hours of trying (or less).

Cool

I've updated trunk, but this will not automatically be updated in the
eggs repo until I actually tag a new release version.  I will do so soon.
I'd like to wait a couple of days before doing so, just in case you hit
some other snags.

That's fine.  You probably want to add a version check to the patching,
though.  If you're on qwiki 1.1, apply the patch.  For newer versions
the patch will be already applied and your script would fail.
The version can be queried by running "chicken-status qwiki".

It can also be obtained from Chicken:
(use setup-api)
(cadr (assq 'version (read-info "qwiki")))

Cheers,
Peter
