[plt-scheme] .rkt not found

The current version looks for ".rkt" first, but it should use a ".ss"
if the ".rkt" doesn't exist. (The error message should be better and
report the files that it actually tried, instead of just the main one.)

We still use a lot of ".ss" files in places outside of the main Racket
tree, so I think the ".rkt" -> ".ss" conversion must usually work. Can
you send me an example and instructions to replicate the problem that
your seeing?

Thanks,
Matthew
