 To make it easier for people making binary-only distributions we should
 repeat the copyright statement somewhere in the docs (or perhaps aggregate
 all the copyright statements of 3rd party software in one place. Perhaps
 Chicken's LICENSE file)

 I think the LICENSE file is best for that.  Aggregate all 3-clause BSD
 licences by adding copyright lines.  For all other licenses (including
 2-clause BSD licenses and the SRFI licenses), just add new blocks of
 license declarations to that file. I think that would be the most
 manageable way to keep this straight.

 I'll post a prepared LICENSE file later.
