I've finally found the time to have a second look at funk.  Using
$CHICKEN_REPOSITORY I managed to install the dependencies without
polluting any system directories.  Then I put together the patch I've
attached.

Besides making better use of autoconf/automake this patch also makes
funk buildable in a sub-directory.  Something that's needed for `make
distcheck` to succeed.
