When integrating the CHICKEN Scheme support onto the Yocto Project we
dealt it using their installation tool but making the package of
individual packages (eggs, in this specific case) as individual

made it quite easy to maintain in long term.
Take a look at:

Thanks, even though my Scheme-fu isn't great :)
I'd like to avoid generating entire separate recipes though, because
that implies your custom-written tool would be figuring out where the
dependency source came from in the first place, and what are its own
dependencies, when creating the recipe, which can be tricky,
breakage-prone guesswork.
I want to use existing tools (like 'npm install') for getting the stuff
from the network - we don't really need full recipes, we just want to
know the licenses of the dependencies, and, if possible, lock them down
to a specific version.
