default

 Example:

 {{{
 $ chicken-uninstall sp

 About to delete the following extensions:

   spiffy-cookies
   sp-runtime
   spiffy-request-vars
   sp
   spiffy

 Do you want to proceed? (yes/no/abort) [no] no
 }}}

 I think this default is rather dangerous and unnecessary.  We should
 probably make chicken-uninstall only uninstall the exact given egg(s) and
 have a command line like {{{-match}}} which users can use to explicitly
 state that they want to remove all eggs matching the given pattern.
