Re: [Chicken-users] Updated CHICKEN packages for cygwin comming to you soon

[Nathan Thern]

Thanks for doing this, Christian. I created the original chicken 
packages for cygwin years ago, but rarely use it & rarely interact with 
cygwin on a development level anymore. I use mostly linux at home now, 
and scheme is just an occasional hobby for me. Hopefully the community 
will benefit from your more active involvement.

Regards,
Nate Thern
