Wait until scheme48 supports a 64 bit architecture? (or at least until
it is not quite as 32-bit dependant)..and then continue applying
pressue to Olin & Brian for scsh..

I've poked at building scsh on Alphas several times and keep running
into the PreScheme compiler, and the static linker.  It's probably
doable by a human (or group of humans) w/o the official prescheme
compiler, but not pleasant.  

If you have any successs, please let folks know, as I know of others
who would like to see scsh on 64 bit platforms..
