#1113: chicken-install -s should not use sudo if it is not necessary

     Type:  defect                 |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  major                  |   Milestone:  someday
Component:  unknown                |     Version:  4.8.x  
 Keywords:  chicken-install, sudo  |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 Currently chicken-install -s unconditionally invokes sudo which installs
 eggs with root permissions even in the case of local installs.

 I would expect it to be smarter and use only sudo if the current
 permissions aren't enough to install an egg.
