I am "porting" Termite, sort-of. Tint (Tint is not Termite) is being  
built from generally useful eggs slowly being added to Chicken. We  
have timeouts in mailbox, remote-mailbox, and match-action. With  
logging and remote-launch in nearing release. See also Thomas Chust's  
rpc.

I wanted to go a different route. TinT will be one expression of a  
number of ways to perform distributed programming w/ Chicken. (The  
Termite syntax I coded 1st and will release last.)
