As chief shill for the Schematics project
(http://schematics.sourceforge.net/) and "a shameless PLT booster"
(http://plt-scheme.org/) I'll answer as best I can in terms of what is
available for PLT Scheme.  Where I don't give URLs the code can be
found via Schematics.

sql manipulation:  We've got SchemeQL which currently runs on top of
an ODBC driver.  We've talked about standardising a lower-level DB API
and have mostly working drivers for Postgres and MySQL, and to a
lesser extent Firebird, but haven't completed this yet.

db abstraction: see above

object-relational layer: nothing here

MVC forms: For the view component I really like WebIt!
(http://celtic.benderweb.net/webit/)  It's like an XML transformation
system built in pure Scheme.

date libs: Combination of the PLT builtins and SRFI-19
(http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-19/srfi-19.html), which is distributed
with PLT Scheme, have always done me.

webunit: This is a testing framework for web applications.  There is a
prototype in Schematics CVS.

twisted: This is a server.  The web server distributed with PLT Scheme
is very easy to use.  If you don't know about continuations read
"Developing Interactive Web Programs" availabe from
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/scheme/pubs/ to see why continuation based web
servers are such a good thing.

HTH,
Noel
