[plt-scheme] Debugging servlets in DrScheme

Sorry, but the servlet teachpacks haven't worked since v350. This
is mostly my mistake for not maintaining them properly.

fun doing it via the world.ss teachpacks. We have an experiment
running in MA that gets 10 year olds to write (simple) space invader
games:
