I think it's good to keep C_I_R distinct from C_I_P. In the most common
case users are only going to care about where they can put loadable
libraries to make them available, and I think they should be able to use
any sort of directory name for that, not just those that follow the full
"lib/chicken/9/" convention. It makes Makefiles and that sort of thing
easier this way.
