-    Minimal Scheme Implementation for use as an Extension Language
-
-              http://synthcode.com/wiki/chibi-scheme/
-
-Chibi-Scheme is a very small library intended for use as an extension
-and scripting language in C programs.  In addition to support for
-lightweight VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap
-allowing multiple VMs to run simultaneously in different OS threads.
-
-The default repl language contains all bindings from R7RS small,
-available explicitly as the (scheme small) library.
-
-Support for additional languages such as JavaScript, Go, Lua and Bash
-are planned for future releases.  Scheme is chosen as a substrate
-because its first class continuations and guaranteed tail-call
-optimization makes implementing other languages easy.
-
-To build on most platforms just run "make && make test".  This will
-provide a shared library "libchibi-scheme", as well as a sample
-"chibi-scheme" command-line repl.  You can then run
-
-  sudo make install
-
-to install the binaries and libraries.  You can optionally specify a
-PREFIX for the installation directory:
-
-  make PREFIX=/path/to/install/
-  sudo make PREFIX=/path/to/install/ install
-
-By default files are installed in /usr/local.
-
-If you want to try out chibi-scheme without installing, be sure to set
-LD_LIBRARY_PATH so it can find the shared libraries.
-
-For more detailed documentation, run "make doc" and see the generated
-"doc/chibi.html".
