[plt-scheme] .Z* files in SLaTeX

Since you asked -- not really (-:.  It's more of an annoyance under
Windows, which doesn't automatically hide dot-files.  (Maybe there's a
way of making it do so, information on which I'd be grateful for.)

You can delete them.  It only gets used by the LaTeX phase.  However,
if you have changed your references and LaTeX needs to run twice, then
of course you should leave the .Z's across the invocations.

I don't like this solution at all.  Some people run SLaTeX every time;
I prefer to run SLaTeX only if I changed something (ie, a Scheme
region) that needs it to run.  Matthias's solution means you have to
run SLaTeX for every tiny edit.
