[plt-scheme] mzc not found?!

Well, I'm not completely sure if you're in a good state yet, but if
you go into the bin directory, you should see a binary called
setup-plt. Run it. If it isn't there, run

  mzscheme -l setup

Either way, you should be in a good state after that (if you were in a
good state already, it should completely fairly quickly; if you
weren't, it may take a while to run).
