There's a lot more! At least Chicken 3 installs chicken-bug,
chicken-profile, header files in /usr/include, lib(u)chicken in
/usr/lib, manpages for all the programs above and some documentation
that's under share/doc on my system, but maybe it's under
share/chicken/doc in other distros.

There's an "uninstall" target in the Makefiles. Not sure if it works,
though :)  And of course, that's supposed to uninstall the _current_
version of chicken, not earlier ones.
