New description:

 Currently chicken-install -s unconditionally invokes sudo which installs
 eggs with root permissions even in the case of local installs, i.e. in
 your own home directory.

 I would expect it to be smarter and use only sudo if the current
 permissions aren't enough to install an egg.
