but also oliver was astonished that you can make MIT C Scheme run
on interactive unix (and other sys v's perhaps). i succeeded doing
this with version 6.1.2, i didn't try 7.0, however. since i'm
not a scheme hacker, i can't tell whether elk is 'better' in the
language part, but i think it's cheaper regarding memory usage.
