[plt-scheme] Install PLAI package on PLTScheme

The Ubuntu repo is a bit behind--it has 4.1.3. However, if you
download the 4.1.5 deb files from the Debian repos, they install fine
in Ubuntu. (I've done it with 8.10 and 9.04.) Just right click and
choose "Open with GDebi Installer" or similar choice.

Here are the links (for i386):
