cool, I wasn't aware of hiredis!

You mention "Note that you will need to fetch the git submodules in this
package." -- I wonder if the .tar.gz includes the checked out
submodules, too? Otherwise it won't work with the eggs infrastructure
I'm afraid. We'll know in a bit though :-)

Done!

Looks fine AFAICS. You can remove the `egg', `files' and `doc-from-wiki'
clauses from the meta file, though. They are not needed anymore.

FYI, I also made a Redis egg once which I never released because I
didn't need it eventually and then I couldn't be bothered to finish it
up and write documentation for it :-) I took a slightly different
approach in providing a high-level API which exposes each Redis command
as a Scheme function. You can find the code here
