Perhaps it makes more sense to define some sort of BUILD_DIR, which
gets passed from the Makefile (or whatever other build system is being
used).  It could default to "..".  This makes it easier to add tests
for other CHICKEN programs without exporting more and more shell
variables.

I find it all rather tricky to handle as the CHICKEN 4 and 5 branches
have diverged further and further.  I'm not sure how many large-scale
changes we'll be able to accept for CHICKEN 4; all of those will have
to be integrated into CHICKEN 5 as well.
