The current release of the SDL egg has (sdl-init) defined for all 
platforms, with a comment in the source code warning about the MacOS X 
problem. (I've just added a paragraph to the README too, so that'll be 
in the next release.)

I guess it could be improved by only compiling in sdl-init on non-MacOS 
X platforms; is there an easy way of doing platform-specific conditional 
compilation with Chicken? (I suppose if not I could do a platform test 
at runtime.)

Cheers,
