That could work.  Currently the uri style is called "meta-file", in which
henrietta-cache will look for a 'files entry.  This will require tweaking
if we want to allow distribution-files.  Maybe we should then also add an
"egg-file" option which works exactly like "meta-file", but which looks for
'distribution-files instead.

Note that there's also still the "files-list" option, which works with
both CHICKEN 4 and CHICKEN 5.  Personally I don't care much what we do
with this, but I'd prefer if a decision can be made soonish so we can
make a new RC as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Peter
