Usually it's very little (or no) work to backport.  If it isn't, I
totally agree we shouldn't bother.

Ah yes, there are some small odds and ends that need a little bit of work,
but for the most part it "just works", as you can see from the Salmonella
runs; this uses chicken-install with the same Henrietta that's used for
CHICKEN 4.  It is major release-aware now, for the most part.  I think
only the "list available eggs" feature doesn't know about releases yet.
I'll take a look at fixing that.

Once the API is stabilised I'll try porting some non-svn eggs to see how
to best handle the transition in established repositories.  In the
roadmap I listed the possible options, I think.

Cheers,
Peter
