Well, it's definitely easier to port programs that use SLIB and the
SRFIs, but as soon as you use a dialect-specific feature (e.g, I use
mzscheme's syntax-objects, parameterize, and class system) then you have
to translate that to other dialects.

I haven't used scmxlate yet as I focused mainly on getting the
translator to work in PLT Scheme first.
