What's it supposed to be in general on Unix?  Cygwin appears to be 
behaving like Unix.

That's not important.  I used --prefix="/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/cygchicken" in this instance.  A user can specify anything he 
likes for a ./configure --prefix.  The question is whether 
C_INSTALL_LIB_HOME is for Chicken libraries or for Eggs.

But it makes the build more obscure.  %includedir% isn't going away.
