[Chicken-users] new impromptu egg

I'd like to get this added to the egg index, please:

https://github.com/eraserhd/impromptu

And announce it.  I'll document it in the wiki after it is in the index.

But...

impromptu provides an (edit-properties alist) function.  This function formats the properties in a mostly-human-readable way and spawns $EDITOR on the result.  It checkes the return value of editor and parses the result back into a modified alist.

This is an old *NIX pattern for utlities that need several fields worth of data - it's a sort of pre-web-form web form.  I'm using it here at Groupon to automate the creation of a JIRA ticket by pre-populating the most common values.

Also, I much appreciate code reviews and ideas on how to make it simpler or more reliable.

Thanks,
-Jason
