You should tell them to install drscheme. Then, you should create a 
.plt file. See the documentation on `pack' (in mzlib) for the details 
on creating .plt files. The .plt is an archive of whatever files you 
want, stored in a plt-tree-relative manner. They would unpack the 
.plt file by dragging it onto Setup PLT and the files will be 
installed on their machine, in the same plt-tree-relative places they 
were on your machine.

Hope that helps,
