This is for the SICP support ("http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-plt/"), 
in which I'm trying to keep the instructions simple.

I found the "can-be-loaded-with" variable, so now uninstalling old 
versions is not necessary.  Now I only need a way to say "require the 
latest version that's in PLaneT, even if you already have a version 
installed."

I'm thinking that, if user already has a version installed, then that 
version will have an "upgrade-sicp" procedure in the SICP language.  
This procedure would automate going to PLaneT to find the latest 
version, doing a dynamic require of it, then instruct the user to 
restart DrScheme.

There should also be a "Upgrade SICP" menu item.  (Without obvious HtDP 
jokes.)
