Hm... perhaps we could try both *.setup + *.meta and chicken/*.setup +
chicken/*.meta, but I guess this would require changes to THE SYSTEM
(Peter?)

(BTW, these two files, .setup + .meta will probably be merged into a single
*.egg in chicken-5, but this is all currently in flux right now. If any changes
to aforementioned SYSTEM need to be done, this would be the right time
to investigate)
