Yes, that's what I meant.

 I think it is a recent change, prior to XCode 5 AFAIK the shims were always 
installed in /usr/bin automatically.  

Not in Xcode4, as I'm quite sure, since I had quite some trouble figuring out 
the
correct locations.

If the user uses xcode-select to switch to another toolchain, then an already 
installed
chicken/csc/chicken-install will not find the correct tools. So I see no other 
way
than hardcoding the paths.
