[Chicken-hackers] Eggs that don't build on Ubuntu

[Matthew Welland]

I've tested the installation of a few eggs on Ubuntu (not using the 
salmonella egg yet but will) and exposted a few possible problems with 
various eggs:

bb                  -- Ubuntu doesn't create the links to FL_*, should bb
                    be relying on those links?
bloom-filter   -- see log below
softscheme   -- see log below
openal           -- installed libopenal-dev but still failed to build
japi                -- installed japitools but something else must be needed
levenshtein   -- utf8 should be added to needs
