Hi, I made some tests with chicken on windows and looked into the issue with pathnames that contain spaces. Here's what I found:
When trying to run chicken-install miscmacros, I get following error:

So, I looked a little bit in the source code, and found that the cause is
in line 240 of setup-api.scm:
(shellpath (find-program "csc"))
shellpath, quotes it's arguments on windows systems, and since
(find-program "csc") already calls shellpath, we are in a case where
shellpath is called twice, therefore ending up with the error above. I
changed the function shellpath to prevent quoting the string twice,
recompiled chicken, and ran "chicken-install miscmacros" again, this time
with success. No errors!
Find attached the changes I made to the file setup-api.scm.
Note: My tests were done using the release version chicken-4.8.0. The patch
file attached applies to the git version. I have not made any tests with
the git version!
I don't have the necessary knowlegde & experience to evaluate the impact of
this change, but on my system it (apparently) works fine. Feel free to ask
me to perform other tests, if it can help you.
