[plt-scheme] mzc *.ss

On Windows, cmd.exe does not expand wildcard characters on the command 
line.  You can perform a manual expansion of the wildcard in cmd.exe 
like so:

   for %%i in (*.ss) do mzc %%i

Alternately, when building mzc.exe, link it with the runtime setargv.obj 
to have mzc perform the wildcard expansion itself.
