Description

Usually PREFIX/lib/chicken/BINVERSION exists when write-info is called, but there are certain corner cases (e.g., setup-helper on cross environments) which make write-info fail on trying to write to a file in a directory which has not been created.

The corner case triggered by setup-helper is that it doesn't contain any file to be installed on PREFIX/lib/chicken/BINVERSION besides the setup-info.

The attached patch fixes the problem by making write-info call ensure-directory before actually writing the setup-info file.
