Extracting information from the .meta files is not very hard.  Here's an
example:

$ chicken-install -r awful
retrieving ...
connecting to host "chicken.kitten-technologies.co.uk", port 80 ...
requesting "/henrietta.cgi?name=awful" ...
reading response ...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

  ./awful.scm
  ./awful.wiki
  ./awful-server.scm
  ./awful.meta
  ./extra/
  ./extra/awful-debian-init
  ./awful.setup
 awful located at /home/mario/awful

$ csi -p '(alist-ref (quote depends) (with-input-from-file "awful/awful.meta" 
read))'
((spiffy 4.2) (spiffy-request-vars 0.8) html-tags html-utils (http-session 2.0) 
json spiffy-cookies)

Best wishes.
