Hi Jim, smart approach, indeed. Thanks for sharing this. Anyway, my proposal was mostly geared towards casual users or users which install chicken for the first time and which are accustomed to the standard: # [./configure] # make # make install open source build process. I think that anything beyond that, any extra step, any extra hassle, might alienate them.
