[plt-scheme] PLT and Database access

I personally am using (my own) SQLI/SQLD package
(like DBI/DBD for perl).

http://www.elemental-programming.org/epwiki/Bigloo%20SQLI.html

Works with mzscheme and bigloo and has drivers for
PostgreSQL, SQLite and Oracle.

I've just enhanced the PostgreSQL driver to not
block mzscheme threads, while executing a query.
