#67: chicken-install handles dependency chains incorrectly

 Priority:  critical         |   Milestone:       
Component:  core tools       |     Version:  4.1.x

-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 Dependency chains such as a -> b -> c must be handled by installing a
 first, then b, then c. However, chicken-install creates a list of
 dependencies of c, and then tries to install them in an order that is not
 necessarily correct.

 For example, the probdist library requires the srfi-4-utils library, which
 in turns requires srfi-4-comprehensions, which requires srfi-42.
 `chicken-install probdist' downloads srfi-4-utils, srfi-4-comprehensions,
 and srfi-42, and then proceeds to try to install srfi-4-comprehensions,
 which fails because srfi-42 has not been installed yet.
