Sorry for the delay, but I finally had a bit of time to look into this
more seriously, but honestly I'm confused by all the parameters.

Why are install-path and repo-path in chicken-install.scm still using
destination-repository instead of effective-destination-repository?
Those are the only places that still use it, aside from one in
chicken-status and chicken-uninstall.

I checked, but if I call chicken-uninstall with CHICKEN_EGG_PREFIX,
it uninstalls (or attempts to uninstall) the egg in the "standard"
location.  That means chicken-uninstall doesn't work if you're using
CHICKEN_EGG_PREFIX.

For chicken-status, the same is true - it won't list the eggs you
installed in the prefix.

So why not simply replace the definition of destination-repository
with the new code?

Cheers,
Peter
