csirc when transitioning from chicken 4 to 5

[Matt Welland]

I have not been able to figure out how to make a .csirc that works for both
chicken 4 and 5.

(import (chicken platform)) is not legal for chicken 4 but
(chicken-version) is not available in chicken 5 until you've done the
import. Chicken and egg :)

How about having chicken 5 csi load ".csirc5"?

Thanks
