You can generate it yourself quite easily: just create a list
containing lists in the directory given by `chicken-setup -repository'
(or call `(repository-path)'). Mostly, you just have to take care of three
properties:

(files LIST-OF-ABSOLUTE-FILENAMES ...)
(documentation HTMLFILE)  ; optional
(syntax)       ; means this is a syntax-extension
(require-at-runtime SYMBOL)   ; a separate extension (or .so) that is to be
                  ; `require'd at runtime.
