Cool.  Thanks for looking into that.  I've installed glfw3 on the Linux
test machines.

As soon as you want us to publish the first version of your egg, just
let us know.  There's that small issue with the `repo' form in the
.release-info file that you'll probably want to fix before publishing
it.

It would be nice if you could add the documentation for your egg to the
wiki (https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/glfw3).  If you properly format
it with the wiki markup (see http://wiki.call-cc.org/edit-help), it will
be automatically indexed by http://api.call-cc.org.

Again, thanks for contributing and for sharing your code.

Best wishes.
Mario
