Using the most current Darcs, I have these errors:

Brandon J. Van address@hidden /e/Program Files/chicken/bin
$ csc -s x.scm
Warning: invalid compiler option `x.scm' - ignored
Error: Can not open file "\\chicken"
*** Shell command terminated with exit status 1: ""E:\Program 
Files\Chicken\bin"\chicken" x.scm -output-file x.c -dynamic -feature 
chicken-compile-shared -quiet

So it seems that more stuff is doing a tack-on, without respect to 
string quotes.  Also I noticed that csc.scm.in seems to take strings 
differently than other Chicken files using the INSTALL_* variables.  
csc.scm.in seems to want escaped quotes.
