That was my understanding.  The vast majority of people are going to 
install Windows native and MinGW Chickens to C:\Program Files\Chicken, 
and Cygwin Chickens to /usr/local/, so I don't see this as a substantive 
issue in practice.  Managing DLL Hell by putting dlls in their own 
separate directories is the Windows way.
