Hello,

well, it was completely unnecessary to install the .scm file in the egg 
repository in the first place, this wouldn't have needed any 
modifications. It's my fault that the install command included the source 
file, but the file would just lie around in the egg repository and do 
nothing, because the extension was never marked as syntax.

Removing my own enumeration support macros and replacing them with the 
builtin ones may be a good idea -- my own macros come from a time when the 
CHICKEN builtin ones behaved completely differently and I didn't like 
their behaviour. But then again, as that change does not improve 
performance I tend to not change a running system.

Finally, removing the initialize function or not exporting it is probably 
a bad idea. It is strictly necessary to get working pointers into the 
wrapper objects and all hell in the form of random segfaults and the like 
may break loose if you remove it. If the code still works without this 
function, that's a pure coincidence. The warning emitted by the compiler 
seems to be a necessary evil ;-)

Considering everything, I can't see that you have made any significant 
change in the source or compiler flags. If it works after the changes I 
don't see a reason why it shouldn't have worked before. The egg also still 
runs fine on my machine and a test box running Linux, both with an updated 
SQLite3 installation and unmodified egg source.

Sorry, but I'm totally clueless as to what is causing your problems :-(

Thomas
