 Based on patch provided by Peter Schuller in PR 35339.
 
 Changes:
 - Bugfixes
 - CHICKEN can now be built using CMake <http://www.cmake.org>, in fact CMake
   is required to built CHICKEN from sources on Windows with the Microsoft
   tools
 - the whole build process has been cleaned up and simplified
 - the "easyffi" and "tinyclos" library units have been removed from the base
   system and are now available as separate extensions
 - the deprecated "set-dispatch-read-syntax!" has been removed
 - Will Farr cleaned up the behaviour of number-type specific numeric operations
   ("fx..."/"fp...") with respect to safe/unsafe mode
 - added "(finite? NUMBER)"
 - the "$" macro moved into its own separate extension
 - the values of "software-type", "software-version", "machine-type" and "machine
 -byte-order"
   are now registered as features and can be tested using "cond-expand" or "#+"
 - all tools now support the "-release" option
 - chicken-setup: added "-test" option
