[plt-scheme] Tool/plugin: packer.plt

Hi Jon,

Thanks for your comments. I've updated the packer tool, and I feel
I've addressed your points best I can for the moment. (see below)

As usual, to load 	(require (planet spdegabrielle/packer:1:1))
[ http://planet.plt-scheme.org/display.ss?package=packer.plt&owner=spdegabrielle
]

Thanks again,

Stephen

it now just ignores the request - I think I should work out how to
generate a DrScheme-ey error message (like check-syntax)

The manual suggests that make-planet-archive should skip subversion
files/folders.

It would be nice if I could manually select the files with the option of "include all .ss files found recursively" or something. This is especially important because even if I am in my project directory I will probably have .svn directories hanging around that I don't want to send to planet.
