[racket] Adding a raco command not working for me

Thank you.

So on http://docs.racket-lang.org/planet2/Developing_Packages.html
should it switch the steps around? Folks should not run `raco pkg
install --link demo` until _after_ they create an info.rkt in demo?

Because when I try to run `raco pkg install --link` now, it does
nothing, telling me:

$ raco pkg install --link frog
raco pkg install: package is already installed
  package: frog

OK. So I just tried:

$ raco pkg remove frog

(FYI that gives a huge amount of output, which doesn't say anything
about removing `frog`, but a lot about making other stuff.  But `raco
pkg show` confirms it was removed.)

Next I try:

$ raco pkg install --link frog

And I try:

$ raco pkg show

<It's installed.>

But:

$ raco help

Does not show my command listed.

And

$ raco frog
raco frog
/Users/greg/src/plt/racket/bin/raco: Unrecognized command: frog

Usage: raco <command> <option> ... <arg> ...

Frequently used commands:
  docs           search and view documentation
  make           compile source to bytecode
  setup          install and build libraries and documentation
  pkg            manage packages
  link           manage library-collection directories
  planet         manage Planet package installations
  exe            create executable
  test           run tests associated with files/directories
  pack           pack files/collections into a .plt archive

A command can be specified by an unambiguous prefix.
See `raco help' for a complete list of commands.
See `raco help <command>' for help on a command.


So it's still not working. From my (probably not great) understanding
for getinfo.rkt, I'm still not sure how it _could_ work because these
linked collections aren't returned by
`current-library-collection-paths`.

Or quite likely I'm doing something dumb.
