 Hi,

 When I use `chicken-install -p` to install an extension library to a non-
 default location and then move it to where all other extension libraries
 are installed, calling `chicken-install -f` on it produces the wrong
 results.

 For example:

 {{{
 $ chicken-install -r xlib-utils
 $ cd xlib-utils && mkdir foo
 $ chicken-install -p foo
 $ sudo mv foo/lib/chicken/7/* /usr/lib/chicken/7/
 $ chicken-status -f xlib-utils
 /home/slash/xlib-utils/foo/home/slash/xlib-utils/foo/lib/chicken/7/xlib-
 utils.import.so
 /home/slash/xlib-utils/foo/home/slash/xlib-utils/foo/lib/chicken/7/xlib-
 utils.so
 }}}

 This is wrong for two reasons:

 1. The files have been moved to `/usr/lib/chicken/7/`
 2. The path `/home/slash/xlib-utils/foo/home/slash/xlib-
 utils/foo/lib/chicken/7/` never existed, it was `/home/slash/xlib-
 utils/foo/lib/chicken/7/`.

 I packaged some extension libraries for the Archlinux User Repository and
 this is basically how packages are made, they are installed in a kind of
 staging area and then later put in the proper place from the package.

 Everything still seems to work fine, programs depending on extension
 libraries installed this way don't seem to have any trouble with it, even
 when I remove the directory where the files were stored before being
 packaged.
