Notice that to use (use make) in .setup files, you need (depends make)
in the corresponding .meta files, since make is now an egg.

Also, it's probably a good idea to explicitly require the minimum
versions in the .meta file.  Example:

  (depends (some-egg "minimum-version"))

since that's what required-extension-version was used for.

Finally, all those changes will only take effect when a new release is
tagged (so, bumping versions is required too).


Best wishes.
