Hmm, looks like pkglint has been updated.  The old version didn't complain.
This has been updated now.

These two I forgot to remove.  The current version of scsh-install-lib does
not install anything in a directory which is dependent on the version of
the installed scsh.  (this should be handled automatically by pkgviews in case
it becomes necessary to have multiple versions installed anyway)

The old version used to install libraries in something like lib/scsh-0.6/scx,
for the wip/scx example.

The latter is a bit difficult.  Simply put, scsh is a fork of Scheme48 with
Unix shell scripting macros and regex capabilities.
Work is underway to integrate scsh with scheme48, but that will probably
take a long while before it will be done.

In any case, scsh-install-lib can also install libraries for Scheme48.
An easy solution would be to create a scheme48-install-lib package which is a
patched version of this program which installs for scheme48.

At the moment there's not really a problem, since the current package only
works for scsh.
