[plt-scheme] Re: opengrok hosted instance with DrScheme sources.

I find the opengrok installation pretty useful for understanding the
mzscheme internals. I will try to get a publicly accessible opengrok
installation available for public use. If people find it useful in its
current state then maybe we can revisit the topic of adding it to the
drscheme website.
