Greg, thanks for contributing these packages, and for biting the bullet to use PLaneT.

Which was not at all clear to me from the otherwise great instructions.
Maybe it's obvious to people who are smarter and/or more experienced than me.

I sure hope that difficulty making PLaneT packages is not a sign of being less-smart. :) I have found the process to be effort-intensive and error-prone enough that I made a tool to help: http://www.neilvandyke.org/mcfly-tools/

  Upon doing a test run on a fresh
machine, I watched in horror at the install time and log file.

Even without the Scribble formatting-time test cases, I expect a PLaneT package install into a fresh Racket install to take at least a few minutes. The documentation formatting (index?) is really expensive. (I'm speaking of up through Racket version 5.2.1; I haven't tried version 5.3 yet.)
