It's easier to just put `/proj/scheme/bin' in your PATH -- this way
you'll always get the recent version, and you'll be able to access
older versions too.

Systems: The bottom line is that `/proj/scheme/bin' has a few scripts
that always run the most recently distributed PLT version (I update
that on each release).  In addition, these scripts can execute older
versions (given a -VVV flag).  It may be a good idea to simply remove
all plt installations, and symlink things to our directory so you
don't have to install it again.  To do so and keep things as they are
now:

* remove all plt symlinks from /arch/unix/bin, and replace them with
  symlinks to /proj/scheme/bin/pltprog (this is a single script that
  will run the plt program based on the original name)

* in /arch/unix/packages, remove all plt-VER directories, and symlink
  them to /proj/scheme/plt-released/VER instead.
