I've been using the following utilities.

To upgrade all eggs with available updates:

# cd TEMP_DIRECTORY &&\
  rm -rf *.egg *.egg-dir &&\
  chicken-setup -d `chicken-setup -C | cut -d" " -f 1`

If you're really brave you could put that in a daily cron job :)

Also, to get a list of all available but uninstalled eggs:

$ chicken-setup -fetch-tree |\
 grep '^[ (](' | perl -ape 's/^[ (]\(([^ ]+)(?: .*)?$/\1/' |\
 sort > pkg.txt
$ chicken-setup -l | cut -d" " -f 1 | sort |\
 comm -1 -3 - pkg.txt
