I just loaded scheme48.init into scsh and it works fine, although it
detects a few undefined symbols.

In the area of macros, it doesn't quite follow the documentation.
The documentation says that defmacro should be available on all
platforms, and it will load r4rs-macros using defmacro, but scheme48
(and scsh) provide r4rs macros and not defmacros.

Also, I think Olin once said that the scheme48 random number generator
wasn't very good, or was slow, or something, but I haven't been able
to figure out how to effectively seed the slib one. Anyone have any
suggestions?
