Don't use defmacro in Scheme.

For Common Lisp, defmacro is standard, so saying "don't
use defmacro" would be inappropriate.  However, the Kawa
implementation of Common Lisp does not claim to be
correct or even usable.  I have a "master plan" for
improving the Common Lisp implementation, but I don't
have time to work on it.  I think "Common Lisp the
Language 1st edition" support could be implemented in
a few months of intense hacking; full standard
Common Lisp would take more time.

I'm certainly happy to advise/help anyone who want to
work on this project.
