Adding "Eclipse-like" IDE functionality to DrScheme.

DrScheme already exposes the functionality that "most programmers"
would expect; but it does so in a manner different than how most would
expect it to: namely it provides the name dropdown and the module
browser, debugger, and macro expander.

A typical IDE set up might include the notion of a project, a file
browser, a module browser, a class browser.

This has been discussed before; but it seems relevant to JSSP's goals
of "encourag[ing] growth in the functional programming community". I
guess the question is of the means by which we encourage that growth.
