[plt-scheme] SLaTeX: getting it to work

Well it's already easy enough to just write a little batch file that 
copies the .tex file to the PLT directory, runs SLaTeX there, and then 
moves the .Z* files back. Create shortcut to batch file, done! <5min 
work to go from 1% to 100%. ;-) Sorry to skip the cygwin/term sorcery, 
but I'm getting a bit tired of this whole issue myself now, and this 
already works like a charm. :-)
