              Status:  new           |   Priority:  major
           Milestone:  6.0.0         |  Component:  core tools
             Version:  5.3.0         |   Keywords:  chicken-install
Estimated difficulty:                |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 This is about making it possible for egg authors to specify the minimum
 version of CHICKEN required for their eggs in egg files.

 Something like

 {{{
 (minimum-required-chicken-version "5.5.0")
 }}}

 When users try to install eggs, chicken-install should verify whether the
 version of CHICKEN is recent enough to install the requested eggs.

 This gives us more flexibility for making not-so-radical-but-breaking core
 API changes within a major CHICKEN version, still providing good feedback
 to users.
