Description

CHICKEN 4's setup-api provides version>=?, whose code is in CHICKEN 5 but not exposed to users. That leads to a lot of copy&paste of that procedure into the source of eggs.

This code could be an egg, but then it is needed by CHICKEN anyway, and has been stable enough not to require any modification along the entire time CHICKEN 5 has been available, so unlikely to require a lot of maintenance in the future.

The following eggs copy&paste the definition from CHICKEN 4:

• test-new-egg
• henrietta-cache-git
• henrietta
• git
• egg-tarballs
• chicken-update

Additionally, the following CHICKEN code not packaged as eggs duplicate version>=?:

• egg-layer
