 Users try to install the apropos egg with older (< 4.8.0) chickens and are
 confused about the error message they get:

 {{{
 Warning: reference to possibly unbound identifier `foldl' in:
 Warning:    environment-list-symbols

 Error: module unresolved: apropos

 Error: shell command terminated with non-zero exit status 256:
 /home/ckellerm/chickens/4.7.0/bin/chicken apropos.scm -output-file
 apropos.c -dynamic -featu...
 }}}

 Maybe it will make it clearer to add the chicken version to the depends
 clause in the .meta file or provide a workaround for foldl for older
 chickens?
