I reported the same thing on IRC today. I think it makes sense and would like
to have a switch that instructs chicken-install to *only* build, and install if 
-n is
not present, the egg’s dependencies.

I had to resort to some trickery when making an easy build script for Ensemble,
and would have liked such a command flag.
