IMO, the above is much better -- it searches the path, it can handle
the executable being a script, it can handle any number of arguments
or any command line at all, and it gives you a nice place to run shell
commands before you start mzscheme (like "exec sudo mzscheme -r").

[The only very minor penalty is speed, but in all my scheme scripting,
I didn't find any situation where this was a problem (it's not
something you notice for interactive usage, and if you want to run a
script many times then you should do the external loop in Scheme
too).]
