oops, sorry about that.

my 2c.

chicken-setup is indeed overcomplex.  i would propose a change not only to
the chicken-setup and metadata files, but to the repo as well.  as shawn said,
there is a lot of duplication of data that should not be necessary.  however,
much of the actual compilation is *not* duplication, as extra bits like 
linked libraries need to be specified.  i can draft a proposal for how to
fix things based on my own experiences both with the repo and with 
chicken-setup, if people are interested.
