[plt-scheme] testing scrbl work-in-progress in local svn area

Hello,

I am a Linux newbie, so take all this with a fistful of gourmet salt:

1. Wouldn't executing ./setup-plt in the svn directory run the svn 
version? Assuming setup-plt runs relative to its installation 
directory, that should take the PATH out of equation.

2. Maybe temporarily reexporting PATH with the path-to-svn might be an 
  option.

3. If you are using Linux >2.4, I think you might be able to 
(temporarily) mount the directory where the svn version is onto the 
directory where the normal version is (temporarily masking it):

	sudo mount --bind <path-to-svn-version> /usr/local/plt

then work on the docs, and

	sudo umount <path-to-svn-version>

after you are done.

4. You can also run scribble executable against the .scrbl document. 
This produces a version that does some of the global links screwed up, 
but its good enough for checking the formatting etc.

Hope this helps more than it confuses,
--Yavuz
