Using DrScheme to Edit Code for Any Distribution

I would like, or for someone else to, write a plugin for DrScheme that would allow it to easily call out to execute code on any Scheme distribution.

The plugin would need to be smart enough to know how to call out to another Scheme executable and disable PLT specific features.

Am I the only one that uses DrScheme for all of my Scheme editing?
I run code on PLT, Ikarus, Ypsilon, and Iron Scheme.
