 Priority:  minor                      |   Milestone:  4.8.0

---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 Since it is inconvenient and somewhat redundant to specify the version
 number to `install-extension`, `chicken-install` should receive the
 version number of the egg retrieved via henrietta. The current henrietta
 code drops the second result value of `retrieve-extension`, but should
 pass it to the client in some backwards-compatible way. This version could
 then be given to the setup-script in `(extension-name-and-version ...)`.
