[racket] Evaluating code written in non-SEXP language

Matthew,

Yes it changes everything!

$ raco exe ++lib slon/slon-language ++lib slon/lang/reader ++lib 
slon/main slon-main.rkt
$ raco distribute slon-distr slon-main

and I have a working distribution now. Thank you so much!


(having some issues with sqlite though, but maybe it is not
raco's fault--I will explore further and report if I can
not fix it)
