There is currently the option to have "tags" and "trunk" directories inside
a specific egg directory. Setting some svn properties (see egg readme/tutorial
on the wiki) will allow you then to mark what tag is the current one.
The upload script will respect that (thanks to Alejandro who added this).
It's merely a job for the eggg author to do the tagging, then.

Sorry, I don't quite get this. You can do whatever checks you want
(I added "required-chicken-version" the other day and will add
"required-extension-version") in your .setup script. Or do you mean
the .meta file?
