Support cross-compilation from another Scheme implementation #33

It would be nice to be able to cross-compile Chez Scheme using another R6RS Scheme as a host. Steel Bank Common Lisp supports this, for example. This would eliminate the need for the binary .boot files.

Feel free to close as "won't fix" if this is impractical, but I think that it would be a nice feature.

I'm going to take you up on your offer to close as "won't fix". It's indeed not practical, since the compiler uses many non-R6RS features to good effect, and it would be a poor bargain to avoid such features and build in a depenency on another Scheme implementation just to avoid distributing boot files,
