I have no idea about either VARDIR or DATADIR.  I have just been
installing stuff
into directories under (chicken-home), which on my system is e.g.
"/usr/local/chicken-4/share/chicken".  So chicken-doc stuff goes into
(chicken-home)/chicken-doc.  That's not done by the installer of
course, but I'd like
to get chickadee installing stuff in the same area via the installer.

I see Peter is using (installation-prefix), like (list
(installation-prefix) "share" "chicken" "slatex").  I am not sure if
(list (chicken-home) "slatex") is always correct but it seems to
produce the same results in this case.
