[plt-scheme] Embedding MzScheme in Java

Like so, following your example in Inside MzScheme:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_test_init_mzscheme(JNIEnv* env, jobject obj) {

    int dummy;
    Scheme_Env* e;

    scheme_set_stack_base(&dummy,1);
    // scheme_set_stack_base(NULL,1);

    e = scheme_basic_env();

...

}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've tried various permutations of scheme_set_stack_base arguments, as
I mentioned earlier.  I also tried setting the JVM thread stack to be
ridiculously large, but MzScheme still detects a stack overflow.  Hmmm ...
at first I thought the problem might have to do with garbage
collection, but the stack overflow exception happens early on, before
the GC kicks in (or so it appears to me).  Am I overlooking anything in
the code leading up to the scheme_basic_env call?

For now I'm limiting my focus to the /MT case.  I'll need to link to
the multi threaded dll runtime later, but I'm sure you're right. I'll
have to figure out what's going on with stack size in either case.
