[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v5.1

I've looked into this and I think it is a regression of GR2.

The dc<%> interface documentation lists a huge number of functions,
but racket/draw/private/dc-intf.rkt only has "draw-text" in the
interface. As far as I can tell, this is fine enough because all the
functions are implemented by the different dcs. But, it is a problem
because make-generic requires the interface object to have the method
name. In this case, FrTime needs draw-ellipse to work.

A simple way to test is to run frtime/demos/mouse.rkt

The FrTime code in question should really be rewritten/removed though,
because it is a fork of the graphics collects. But nonetheless, this
is a real gr2 regression.
