 I noticed this while porting sql-de-lite, which has a pretty hairy setup
 script.  But that's irrelevant, the issue is caused by the `(types-file)`
 in sql-de-lite-cache.

 You can see it here: https://bitbucket.org/sjamaan/sql-de-lite/src

 Running "chicken-install" will sometimes work.  If you then run "hg clean"
 and "chicken-install" again, it may fail, depending on whether chicken-do
 decides to compile the static extension first.

 This is due to the comment that starts on line 394: "if compiling both
 static + dynamic, override types-file: + inline-file: properties to avoid
 generating things twice".
