That makes sense. I don't think you want to use that Makefile for
packaging.

Actually, those binaries are intended to be in "lib". They're not meant
to be run directly, but to generate/support other executables ---
similar to gcc's "cc1".

When the "gui" (or "gui-lib") package is installed, then a "gracket"
executable is added to "bin". The "starter" executable is used by `raco
exe' to generate executables (that sometimes refer back to "gracket").
