Description (last modified by )
If one installed chicken via some package manager, say apt-get on debian and uses a CHICKEN_REPOSITORY in ones $HOME, installing something that depends on setup-helper will fail.
setup-helper will always try to install in the system wide chicken home.

And installation-repository-path should take CHICKEN_REPOSITORY into account if it is set.

Release 1.3.2 provides an unsatisfying workaround.

Release 1.4.0 installs a compiled form, 'setup-helper-mod'. Slowly eggs will be converted.

I think setup-helper should use install-extension for installing itself.
The status quo installs itself always in (chicken-home) for whatever reason. I propose either (install-to-repository) or use the usual (install-extension) procedure provided by core.
