There is (quotewrap blah) code in csc.scm.  It can be reused in 
chicken-setup.scm.  It is mainly a question of where it needs to be 
used.  I haven't had time or brainpower to deal with it.  Paid my rent 
today with an overdraft check.  That's pretty much the shot going off 
that starts my race towards jobdom.  Nothing Chicken is getting done 
until I'm totally sick of jobhunting.  I bemoan the fact that supporting 
anything in computers takes so much time.
