As Peter mentioned, awful does that. You just have to be careful
with the ids given to `install-program' and `install-extension' (they
must be different).
That was pointed by Jim. He wrote about that in CG #9 (paragraph right
before the "Yolklore" section):

| And now a public service announcement. Egg authors, now hear this. When
| your egg installs both library files via install-extension and also an
| executable via install-program, you need to use different IDs for
| each. By convention, the library files should use the name of the egg
| (such as chicken-doc) and the executable should use this same name with
| something appended, such as chicken-doc-cmd. This prevents the
| uninstaller from losing track of files. Specifically, the .setup-info
| files created by chicken-install to track extension metadata will
| clobber each other if the IDs are identical.
