Seconded. I gave some code of mine to someone with instructions to install 
chicken to compile it. He said it doesn't work. Oops. Yeah, You gotta use 
3.3. Ok, how do I get it. Uh, dunno. He now thinks chicken is a POS. My 
fault for not testing my directions but annoying none the less. I know you 
guys are stretched thin but please consider making going *back* to 3.3 or 
similar easy and obvious from the chicken home page. 4.X should be marked as 
experimental until 80 or 90% of the eggs work IMHO.

In other words 4.X is exciting and all but some of us are using chicken to 
get things done and can't afford exciting ...
