Good point (my own eggs even do that).  But it still maybe wouldn't
have to be a complete, exact, brittle command for compiling, and there
are many eggs that don't need to link libraries too.

Sounds good.

That reminds me of a dumb question I didn't get around to asking yet -
you can run chicken-setup in a way to compile an egg in-place in the
current directory while you are developing it, right?  rather than
having to completely package it first, and without having to install
it in its final location?  I've been writing Makefiles for that, but
figured there must be another way.
