[racket] Missing entries for DrRacket Menu items

Hi All,

I just wanted to provide an update.  My system shutdown to due to an 
unexpected power outage in the neighborhood.  Later on when power was 
restored I started up my system.  I brought up DrRacket and the missing 
menu items were once again there.  Strange indeed.

I had some strange issues trying to load Asumu's package in Racket 
6.0.1.  I was able to load it and see that it was loaded, but the Vim 
mode was not in the edit menu.  I got it to work later, but my problem 
could have been that I was alternatively uninstalling and installing it 
in Racket 6.0 while doing the same in Racket 6.0.1. The package source 
was in the same directory both times which was outside the directory 
tree of either Racket version.  Maybe there is something going on in the 
package build mechanism that is affecting what I was doing.  I don't know.

Anyway.  Thanks.

Martin
