I don't like setting PLTCOLLECTS, and I have been considering adding a
`raco link' command that is analogous to `raco planet link', but for a
collection instead of a Planet package.

Planet was supposed to play the role that you have in mind for a
collection, which is why nothing like `raco link' currently exists. But
I think we're moving into a mode were we experiment with plain
collections, instead.

Yes -- I've pushed a repair. (I guess no one noticed the problem before
because we all use `raco setup'.)

It's on by default, but it works less well on some platforms. What
platform are you using?
