In limited testing the env approach seems to work.  But, I can’t see how to
do this only during the testing phase.  There’s no way for chicken-install or
setup-api, for example, to know that it’s being invoked as an uninstalled 
program,
and needs to pass DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to its children.  I suppose that, if a tool
detects that the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is set at all, and the platform is
OS X, it could prepend the env call.  I would prefer to do only do it during
`make check`, but it may be an okay compromise.  I’ll look into it...
