[plt-scheme] local planet mirror/repository?

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. The only problem I see is that the
results that the planet server gives depend on the packages that have
been uploaded, a naive cache won't work. But if you go stale at
reasonable intervals, you'll probably be okay. If you know something
about how to interpret the requests, you can do better. I'd be happy
to send you the source code.
