I did #1 and #2 on a branch (http://svn.plt-scheme.org/plt/branches/cce/plt+addon-dir). I updated the C implementation of (find-system-path 'addon-dir) to first check the PLTADDONDIR environment variable; Planet and Scribble both use the addon-dir, so it seems to be the right point of control. I also updated the Scribble documentation for find-system-path, and added an svn:ignore property for $PLTHOME/add-on as a canonical place for in-tree add-on directories. I have built the PLT tree with PLTADDONDIR set (which put scribble files in the custom add-on directory), run `planet show' (which constructed and queried a planet cache in the custom add-on directory), and run $PLTHOME/collects/tests/run-automated-tests.ss (which succeeded). All of this was on Mac OS X. Does anyone object if I move this to the trunk? Is there anything I need to do first (e.g. testing on other platforms)? I have attached the relevant patch for the trunk if anyone wants to try this change without grabbing the whole branch. --Carl
