 I tried to install chicken on windows following the instructions from
 https://wiki.call-cc.org/compiling-chicken-on-windows-xp-with-mingw but
 the install part failed with following:

 {{{

 xcopy /Y .\feathers.1 "C:\chicken\share\man\man1"
 .\feathers.1
 1 File(s) copied
 mkdir  "C:\chicken\share\chicken\doc\manual"
 xcopy /Y .\manual-html\* "C:\chicken\share\chicken\doc\manual"

 xcopy /Y .\README "C:\chicken\share\chicken\doc"

 Invalid number of parameters
 .\rules.make:415: recipe for target 'install-other-files' failed
 mingw32-make: *** [install-other-files] Error 4

 C:\Users\tmy\Downloads\chicken-4.11.0>
 }}}

 Seems DATADIR variable is using wrong separators so the xcopy mistakes
 path as command argument.
 Replacing the path arguments separaters with backslashes made the install
 target complete succesfully.
