    Add scripts/smoke-test.sh
    
    Add script to perform basic tests on the code in this repository.  It
    can be useful to test changes before the submission of patches.

+Usage: $(basename "$0") [-h|-help|--help]
+
+This script runs basic tests on the chicken-core repository:
+
+* Creates a distribution tarball with the Scheme code compiled to C.
+* Extracts, builds, installs and tests the code from the distribution
+  tarball.
+* Uses CHICKEN installed out of the distribution tarball to install
+  salmonella, and uses it to test an egg with dependencies.
+
+If everything goes well, you should see
+
+$ALL_GOOD
+
+printed to stdout and the script will exit 0.
+
+The following environment variables are considered by this script:
+
+* CHICKEN: path to the chicken executable to be used to compile Scheme
+  code to C.  By default, chicken will be used from \$PATH.
+
+* MAKE_JOBS: the maximum number of make jobs to use.  On systems where
+  the nproc program is available, its output will be used by default,
+  otherwise 1 will be used.
+
+* C_COMPILER: the C compiler to use.  The default is gcc on Linux and
+  cc on BSDs.
+
+* EGGS: eggs to be used as input for salmonella (space-separated, in
+  case of multiple eggs).  By default, the base64 egg will be used.
+  Note that, unless you tweak setup.defaults to configure
+  chicken-install to use egg sources from a local filesystem, testing
+  the installation of eggs requires Internet access.  If you want to
+  skip the egg installation test, set this variable to ":".
