How about just throwing the code out there in tgz form? A snow package
seems like a lot of work for a code with such a limited audience.
Besides, these are probably very useful from the point of view of
pedagogy. As such, people are likely to want to dig into the actual
code anyway.
Having a simple Scheme system to analyze is a very useful thing.
