Re: [Chicken-users] srfi-128 - almost

This looks pretty close.

Where do I learn what I can put into setup.defaults? Looks like it could do 
the job I want.

What I don't want: a local copy of the to-be-installed egg to begin with.

What I want: chicken-install installing eggs almost like normal. For eggs 
being overwritten however, I'd want it to go through the complete download 
process, just using the location from the other release-info.

Great if a hand full of overwrites could sit in a single file like 
setup.defaults.
