Actually, this is a much better idea as it also provides better granularity
than the current system. I have a practical problem *right now* with my
soon-to-be-released wmiirc egg. It _requires_ chicken 3.0.1 (because of
a change in the way printf works on ports), but I can't currently express
this in the meta file/repos tree, afaik. So it's located in the
release/3 but it won't actually work with the 3.0.0 release.
Cheers,
Peter
