[plt-scheme] problems with drscheme and mred

The problem is with the libXft source files.  You need to apply the following 
patch.  All it does is change XftNameUnparse from
_X_HIDDEN FcBool -> _X_EXPORT FcBool 
in xftname.c.  The problem occured in various versions of libXft and is an 
error upstream.
