Description
When running the testsuite, it will try to load system libraries from the egg repository at the PREFIX that was set during compilation.
This is the future location where Chicken will be installed. This means the tests will fail when running them prior to installation, and there's no Chicken at that location yet. Also, if there is a Chicken there, the tests will run with the new Chicken, but with libraries from the old Chicken, producing false results.
By adding export CHICKEN_REPOSITORY=${TEST_DIR}/.. to runtests.sh, this problem can be fixed.

See r15171. The test-suite uses a private repository, now. At least on Windows it seems to work.
