While having chez-scheme-bootstrap-bootfiles (silly name) does make
some kind of sense, making chez-scheme inherit from it does not.  Given
that we don't have a chez-scheme bootstrap tower at hand, you should
probably make (chez-scheme-bootstrap) a procedure which takes chez-
scheme's origin as argument and returns the full package.
