[racket-dev] A few packages not in 'main-distribution'

The `gui-pkg-manager` omission is intentional, since it's the same as
DrRacket's "Package Manager..." menu item, and I think it's best to
keep the number of GUI applications to a minimum (especially for Mac OS
X users). I have no strong objection if others want to include it,
though.
