whats wrong with simply including libchicken.so (built for whatever platform)
with the codeball for the graphical client?  wouldnt need to build chicken
again there and youd be simplifying interfaces and reducing dependencies...
with a little work, you could even write some code that only used the bits 
of chicken you needed, compile that to a static lib, and send that, if 
space is at an insane premium...
