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

Carl (and other Galore maintainers),

I've been using Galore 3.6 with the pre-release PLT Scheme for a while  
now, and it seems to work fine.  There is a build error because the  
test suite depends on SchemeUnit 1.something, and that doesn't build  
on v4, but I haven't found any troubles with my modest usage of sets  
and tables.

Should I be more careful, or could things really be working ok with  
version 4?

Thanks,
Will
