If you look at the egg page, it says that the implementation is not
supported.  Apparently the upstream maintainer has issued a new version
which was never ported.  I think it's bogus to claim we support a SRFI
when we don't support the only available implementation of that SRFI.

The exact same thing is true of SRFI-57, and I've removed that from the
list too.
