[plt-scheme] testing a module

This isn't quite what you asked for, but... for unit tests in R5RS code,
I use Testeez, which has a messy convention for disabling the test suite
(and removing the Testeez dependency) in production code.

    http://www.neilvandyke.org/testeez/

There's a very simple heuristic that an external tool such as DrScheme
could use to locate Testeez tests within a file, but I've not yet had a
need to implement that.

There are a few PLT-specific test case tools, but some of my libraries
get tested on a dozen different Scheme implementations, so Testeez
requires only R5RS.
