Description

 
 As far as I can tell, the egg description file doesn't support a {{{files}}} form.  I think it would be nice to support this, so that we can just use {{{(uri meta-file ...file.egg)}}} in .release-info files to specify which files to cache.
 
 Without this, files not necessary for the installation of eggs will be cached and downloaded by chicken-install but not used.
