[plt-scheme] Another PLaneT Question

From: Jacob Matthews (jacobm at cs.uchicago.edu)

This message tickled a memory, and sure enough, it looks like
get-info/full in collects/setup/getinfo.ss (which planet uses to find
a package's info file) looks for a file literally named "info.ss". I'd
guess that's the issue.
