Here's what surprises me. Under the Windows command prompt, C:/Program
Files/Chicken is created if it doesn't exist already. But under MSYS,
/usr/local/bin is *not* created if it doesn't exist already. Moreover,
the failure is silent, no error is given. The install says it's
installing, with pathnames echoed and so forth, and it doesn't actually
do what it says it's doing. The output:
$ make install
Running cmake script file cmake_install.cmake

I find that when I type "mkdir /usr/local" on the MSYS command line, it
works. However, "mkdir /usr/local/bin" does not work. I deduce that
"mkdir" is too stupid to create anything more than one directory level
deep? Is this generally true of Unix?
Use "mkdir -p /usr/local/bin" to make all the parent directories as
necessary.

Yes, of course, and it should report an error on failure. Please submit
a bug report here:

By the way, I'm glad someone is using CMake in MinGW/MSYS. It hasn't
been widely used to my knowledge so I'm not surprised it's a little buggy.
