Yes, that would work. You would also need a file for foo-1, I suppose,
if one wants to to load the highest minor version of 1.XXX. This will
produce lots of little loader-files, though. Either we use this or really
create a table that is kept in sync by chicken-setup and which is
consulted once the first egg is loaded.
