Yes, that was an option I considered. In the end I preferred to
include them in the library because I thought (and still think) they
are general enough to be readily available.
E.g. file-install might be used by chicken-install instead of those
"(command "~a ~a ~a..." forks. Anyway, judging from your answers, you
have a different opinion. No problem, I don't get personal on this
kind of things.

As regarding the specific problem (install on Solaris), I would be
fine with a sane default in the Makefile which to me means
'/usr/ucb/install'.
