I’ve been missing it a little bit, but I agree with some of what has been said 
and would like to add my 2 cents.

Should the features declared via chicken-install be passed to all dependencies
being built? I think so.
Vasilij’s example is quite nice to support this opinion, building hypergiant
will bring a lot of other eggs, and every one of them accept a “gles” feature to
build for OpenGL ES instead of OpenGL.

I ported (not published yet) some of these eggs and I’ve been missing a way to
do different things depending on whether the gles feature is defined or not.
I think we should add a cond-expand like mecanism in the egg file format as
well, if we add `chicken-install -D` back.
