[racket] comments on files manifest for planet packaging?

Any comments on this before I do it in McFly?

So that McFly can assemble and test PLaneT packages *without 
accidentally including/using files that are not intended to be in the 
PLaneT package*, I wanted to have an explicit manifest.

Specifically, I was thinking an "info.rkt" variable named 
"mcfly-planet-include-files" that itemized any files other than the the 
defaults that McFly can ``infer'' (e.g., "info.rkt", "main.rkt", 
"doc.scrbl", walking package-internal "require"s, and walking "(doc 
include ...)"s).  For most PLaneT packages, "mcfly-planet-include-files" 
would not need to be specified, since McFly can infer all the necessary 
files.

There might also be a "mcfly-planet-exclude-files" variable, for the 
rare situation in which the package developer wished to exclude inferred 
files.
