[plt-scheme] migrating non-modular mzscheme programs to PLT version 4

The scheme/load language is PLT 4.0, like the scheme and scheme/base
languages, but it behaves like the top level (i.e. the REPL) rather
than like a module.  I forgot it wouldn't save you the trouble of
porting to the new language features.
