Okay, it sounds like the consensus is that it is okay to get rid of
these three packages (if they are at least available elsewhere). If
nobody objects, I plan to do the following in the next 2 days:

  - Remove the three packages from the core distribution
    (We can't deprecate combinator-parser or tex2page in documentation
     because neither has Scribble docs. We could just deprecate
     test-box-recovery in docs and put it on a 1-year counter if
     anyone would prefer that instead)

  - Put combinator-parser and tex2page on PLaneT.
    (It might make less sense to make test-box-recovery a PLaneT
     package, since it might be easier for users who would need this to
     just use an older DrRacket. Any opinions on this?)

Cheers,
