JFYI, I attempted a textual version of racket a few days ago but ran
into a few issues
1. docs fail to build because they require gui libraries to be
installed. I got past this by disabling docs.
2. since there is already a 'racket' package the new package (and all
its dependencies) need to renamed with a -textual suffix. I gave up at
this point but hopefully after I figure out all the metadata that needs
to change it will work.
