In an attempt to bring other approaches forth (not to confuse things,
only to show possibilities) I would like to mention that RScheme uses a
fixed name for the script entry point (like 'main' in C). Moreover,
this entry point has a single argument, ie the list of command line
arguments.

So, for a RScheme script to run it needs the following:

(define main (lambda (argv)
	(do-anything)))
