Setup-plt uses it to compile .zos and DrScheme installs it (when the
PLTDRCM environment variable is set) on startup to recompile out of
date .zo files. You might want to look there for an example use, to get
you started.

In v299, it collaborates with errortrace to create and maintain .zo
files that have the errortrace annotation built in.

Probably MzTake will want to do something like that at some point
(assuming its annotation has no 3d code).
