Comment (by Norman Gray):

 I'd guessed that there had to be something that Nixpkgs was doing, to let
 things like `beaker` work, but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant
 on on http://wiki.call-cc.org/man/5/Extension%20tools and in particular
 `CHICKEN_INSTALL_PREFIX` isn't mentioned there.

 So if this is indeed a supported feature, this might come down to being a
 documentation issue.

 I'm not fluent in the Nix language, so I don't really know what the
 `beaker` script is doing, there, other than in rather broad terms.
