[racket] Reasonable subset of packages in 5.3.6 for "minimal" installation?
My guess is that this isn't going to work easily for v5.3.6.
For the next release, of course, we're directly supporting the idea of
a minimal installation. But we had to shuffle things a little to arrive
at a minimal set of libraries, and you wouldn't want to repeat that
work.
