It is intended to test the currently built one, but I had problems
with this from time to time, and it may be the case that installed
chickens might interfere. The script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
CHICKEN_REPOSITORY and all sorts of things, yet I'm not 100% sure
every corner case or platform idiosyncrasy is taken care of.

This is currently not supported. The easiest thing to do would be to
modify runtests.sh accordingly.
