The "1" is a binary compatibility number. If changes to the runtime
system would mean binary incompatibility (provided I can guess that
it does), the number is increased. An alternative would be to generally
use the chicken version, but that would mean re-installation of all
eggs on every version change which may be annyoing, especially
when one always uses the latest development version.
