[plt-scheme] Odd error message: is 4.0 really too old? :)

Heheh.  Yeah, the planet error messages haven't caught on that
sometimes a version is too new as well as too old now.  :)

I took most of my planet packages out of the 4.0 repository; if I
hadn't, I believe you'd be getting a build error instead of a version
error, anyway.  I'll try to get Galore working for 4.0 soon.  It
shouldn't be hard, I ported most of cce/combinators.plt into
cce/scheme.plt anyway.  Thanks for keeping us updated.
