Comment(by ckeen):

 I have attached a newer patch that also makes the deployment tests work
 without having to install chicken.

 I somewhat dislike the patch since it punches another hole into the path
 handling code by overriding all settings for the TARGET_LIB_PATH when an
 environment variable of the same name is provided.

 I do think though that in the future we should make all these path
 settings overridable by environment variables and properly document them.

 With this patch current master runs make check fine after building with a
 bogus prefix,i.e. pointing to a nonexistant location.
