If DESTDIR is what you give after -R, yeah.

I'm finding the whole paths thing for chicken-setup a little
confusing, to be quite honest, especially these 2 cases:

(assume you're in the dir with the unpacked tinyclos egg)

chicken-setup -R ./install -P ./binaries =>
egg files go into install/, examples go into CHICKEN_REPOSITORY (which
should be overriden by -R, but isn't)

chicken-setup -R ./install -P ./binaries -destdir foo =>
egg files go into foo/lib/chicken/install/ , examples into
foo/examples/ (where did lib/chicken come from? what happened to my
CHICKEN_REPOSITORY=/usr/share/chicken variable now? It was'nt being
overridden by -R before...)

I feel like I'm an episode of the twilight zone.
