        cmd line to the codebase. Maybe it could be part of the runtime
        library, as a C argument? EG: could pass $(PREFIX) to the build
        command
+
+how about we add installation-dir (AKA PREFIX) as a libcyclone.a function?
+the code can assume a cyc:get function for install dir and act accordingly.
+in addition, the chicken code can just hardwire it to the current directory or a home dir (maybe ideal, that is just debug anyway)
+
      * purge (cyc:get-*-dir) functions
        should only need these maybe for the chicken install.
      * figure out how a build will go now. is it possible to build locally
