1. Your problem is that last line -- you need mred to use the whole
   framework collection.  IIRC, Robby changed a few things around so
   that the preferences part of the framework is available without
   mred too (as a result of me running into the same problem you do).

2. Eventually, I concluded that using setup-plt is bogus, and the
   proper place to do that is when the tool initialies.  I now do it
   in the second phase of the tool -- see my csu660 sources, at the
   bottom of "langs.ss".
