Good idea. And commands that depend on that can report an error unless it
has been done in advance.

I was originally thinking about doing that, but since the srfi program 
needs the greater srfi-common file tree it's part of to be present in 
$SRFI_HOME to be able to run effectively, I changed my mind. Seemed 
easier to just check out the repository into the right spot and run 
chicken-install in it.


Good point. Perhaps there should be an `srfi init` subcommand that 
git-clones srfi-common under $SRFI_HOME?
