[racket] help packaging .plt file

Planet creates .plt files that are meant to be installed via the
planet command-line tool or via (require (planet ...)) after they've
been uploaded to planet.

If you want to install them via DrRacket (is that what you're doing?)
then you probably want to use 'raco pack' to create them.

This does not happen with other .plt files I install manually. (I'm on mac os, these .plt get installed in ~/Library/Racket/5.2/collects)
