[Chicken-users] chicken-setup feature request

[Peter Busser]

Hi!

Is it possible to add a command-line switch to chicken-setup to set a
root-directory from which all installations are done?

This is useful because during package building, the files are installed
in a different directory than the root directory. This way the installed
files do not overwrite the files present on the system.

I noticed that there is a -P switch for the installation path of commands.
That solved the build problems for several eggs. Unfortunately, there is no
equivalent for documentation or for example files.

Therefore it seems like a good idea to also add switches for
documentation and example files, and/or to add a switch for everything.

Groetjes,
Peter.
