Well, it's not quite Scheme, its a side-effect-free dialect of scheme
called DSSSL.

Where you say NSGMLS you should say "SP", since libsp provides the
core SGML/XML handling, including entity management, creating of ESIS
streams and an event-based engine (uh, I think?) which Jade hooks
into.  Jade links with libsp.

This is contorted, in that 'jade -t tex' -> 'jadetex' -> 'dvips' gets
you PS quicker.
