 I am running C5 on win8 and ran into this: `chicken-install srfi-13` says
 "cannot create subprocess".

 It is caused by a MAX_PATH being too low.
 `chicken-do.c` uses MAX_PATH to set total cmd length. my win8 MAX_PATH is
 260, but my cmdline (including arguments) is longer.

 If I replace MAX_PATH with 4096, it works.
