The sqlite3 egg is hardcoded to rename the library .so instead of .dll
so it fails to install. Hope someone can fix it.

Hello,
I wonder why this is a problem on Windows. At least on Unices CHICKEN
seems to load every piece of compiled code from .so files regardless of
the specific operating system's idea what the file extension for a shared
library should be. For example on MacOS X the dynamic libraries are
normally called .dylib, but CHICKEN uses .so for its compiled code and is
happy with that.
Is it impossible to load code from anything not called .dll on Windows?!?
Anyway, if this is really a problem, I can try to fix it in the next few
days. I just cannot test it, because I have no Windows machine available
at the moment.
cu,
Thomas
