[racket] Cross-compilation

I created a very basic exe with racket 32bit on windows 7 (64bit) and
it ran fine on winxp.

I used raco exe and not raco distribute though. Also, I'm not sure
what it means to have gracket as a base. Which option is that? Mark,
can you provide some more details about what you are trying to
compile?
