[plt-scheme] [PLT Scheme] SLIB again, and Schelog

It is a little sad to see that the SLIB maintainers are supporting so
many Schemes, but not PLT Scheme. I didn't see a rationale there, but
PLT does provide support for many languages, including R5RS and R6RS
so it seems like someone who cared about SLIB should be able to get it
going.
