I see! Is there anything I need to call to cleanup the runtime
system again?  I am asking all this because I want to hide even
that from the user of this library. So I would wrap the CHICKEN_run(!)
into an init() function of some sort and have the user call that
instead. I could provide a cleanup() function as well, if that's
needed.

Look Ma, no scheme involved!
This is all part of the Scheme Underground plan to take over the world!
