Well, not really a hybrid. Some operations by chicken-install go through
the shell, where MSYS will do path-translations. But some operations
are directly done using file-system procedures. It's an unfortunate

It must be in your path. If it is named differently on your system,
execute 

  (set! *wish-program* "<however wish is called on your system>")

before doing any other tk-related operations.
