[racket] calling osx binaries from racket

Ah- I missed your post on April 28.

Further thinking on the issue, I'm inclined to let the user specify a
path to the executable as a configuration setting - or even include
the major platform executables in the plugin - and just avoid
burdening users with scripts.

Cheers,

Stephen
