mk tests

runs a bunch of tests.

The same code base should work on FreeBSD & Linux. s9 builds
on OS X but image dump and use doesn't.

This was a quick hack. The mkfile needs work.  The low level
plan9 interface probably needs work too.  Suggestions welcome.

s9help shouldn't be too hard to fix and will be very useful
in exploring s9fes.

If the plan9 port of curses can be made to work with
s9/ext/curses.* porting s9e (s9 editor) will be much easier.
It has integrated REPL support etc.

There are more goodies in s9/{contrib,prog,ext}

Don't forget to check out

If you are new to Scheme:
	http://www.t3x.org/s9book/index.html
you can buy "Scheme from Empty Space" book from Lulu.  The
book version of s9fes is a bit older (you can get it from his
website).
