Maybe we should add a note to the documentation suggesting authors that
files that are not to be installed/used by chicken-install/henrietta
should be put in an `extra' directory, at the same level as `tags' and
`trunk', so the extra files won't be fetched when they are not
necessary.

Since `files' is deprecated, I think it should be removed from the
documentation and, more slowly, from eggs too.

Best wishes.
Mario
