Currently when you install an egg with many dependencies using the -s (sudo) switch, you have to wait to enter your password until the first time chicken-install invokes sudo. If, on detecting the -s switch, chicken-install immediately ran "sudo -v", the password would be requested at the top. This variant of sudo does not run any command.
Older sudo's that don't understand -v will just report an error, and no harm done. -- "Repeat this until 'update-mounts -v' shows no updates.
