929	chicken-install should rm shared libraries prior to install	Jim Ursetto	Jim Ursetto	"So that I don't forget about it:

chicken-installing an extension that is currently in use will generally cause a segfault in the running program, because the shared lib changes out from under us.  If we rm the shared lib first, the old file is disconnected from the filesystem but still available to the program, and we can install the new library, which will be picked up once the program is restarted.

Behavior on windows systems is unknown but should not make things worse."	defect	closed	minor	5.0	core libraries	4.8.x	fixed			hard
