This should be much easier with Chicken 4, since it maintains explicit
lists of exported symbols in the *.import files available in the chicken
repos.  This could be automated.  Perhaps also for eggs, since eggs
generate import files when they're compiled and installed.

Attached is a script I quickly hacked together.  Execute it from the
branches/hygienic directory and it will output the new contents for
the doc-indices/chicken.index file to stdout.

HTH,
