Hm, interesting.  Is there a way to keep around a version for
Chicken 4.1 or will releasing an updated egg for Chicken 4.2 kill the
ability to install it under 4.1?  We only have a release/3 and release/4
directory under chicken-eggs, so AFAIK there's always only ONE available
version of the egg (the latest) per major Chicken version.

Ah, moving it will move everything away from extras?  That's good.
