[plt-scheme] "Projects"

First, just to confirm:  we are talking about a "open project" option,
which currently does not exist, right?

If a open project option is implemented, with auto-require tracking,
please make it possible to override items manually with a project
definition file somewhere.  Also, larger projects like i work with
will easily spawn 40 tabs when you try to load the main file, so it'd
be cool to be able to group tabs into seperate windows.  (after about
10 tabs or so, the tabs never show up).  I currently group tabs by
starting seperate instances of drscheme for each window, with a bunch
of tabs in each.
