I've pushed my changes to Darcs.  The CMake build is broken due to this 
issue.  I'm afraid my Scheme skills + brain cells are too weak right now 
to figure out whether Windows drive letters are a dealbreaker for some 
reason.  I think they are.  It's as though the code doesn't know how to 
parse E: and thinks it's something else.

There are significant changes to csc.scm.in.  I've tried hard to make 
them not affect any other build, but there could be a bug.  It's 
difficult to support and test 3 different build methods.

I made minor changes to Makefile.am, removing some substitution 
variables that are never actually used, and also %CHICKEN_HOME% logic 
got simplified by my changes to csc.scm.in.

Felix, I hope you can verify that I haven't broken anyone else's build, 
which is the main goal of the check-in.  Secondly, if you could eyeball 
the Windows drive letter handling....
