Also, improve connection between installers and farm-configuration
entries, and improve configuration of installer name versus
target-install directory.

The suffix is intended for OS variants, such as "precise" for a Linux
variant that is build with Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).

Left one dependency broken: "drracket" currently depends on "htdp" for
a test. That needs to be fixed by removing the dependency (moving the
test to "htdp?), instead of changing the declared dependencies.

A package's "info.rkt" file should define `collection' as a
string to name a single-collection package's collection, or as
the symbol 'multi to declare the package as multi-collection.
If `collection' is 'same-as-pkg, then the package name is used
as the collection name.
The default for `collection' is 'multi for now, but the intent
is to change the default to 'same-as-pkg after a conversion
period. Also, support for a `single-collection' definition remains
in place, but it wil be removed.

The `farm' target run `server', but after the server starts, also
builds clients (via `ssh') as specified in a configuration file.
A client can be a VirtualBox virtual machine, in which case
the client machine can be started and stopped automatically.
Most of the work is in `distro-build/drive-clients' (in the
"distro-build" package), and that's where the configuration-file
format and client-machine requirements are documented.

The "racket" directory contains a pared-back version of the
repository, roughly.
The "pkgs" directory everything else in the repository, but
organized into packages.

Note that this requires a running Finder. Note also that the process
involves attaching the created DMG which means that it might be
problematic with a machine that might have a volume by the same name
already attached (since the applescript uses the volume name, which is
not required to be unique).

I've looked for a while, and it seems that there is no easy way to do
this, not even in bash, and worse with /bin/sh. So this is kind of
resorting to a simple parsing of the input, and using `eval' if it
starts with a tilde. Note the hack of not doing that when there is a
space, otherwise the `eval' thing will silently ignore it.
This hack means that it's easy to get into a mess if quotes are used
after a tilde, but that was already the case with the use of `eval' to
handle environment variables. It's not a real security issue, however,
since we're talking about a user who can just run any command anyway.
Also including a test file for the expansion functionality. If anyone
wants to improve this code, making the tests pass would reveal the
tricky issues.
[FWIW, I've asked on the #bash channel, and the only serious suggestion
was getting the paths as command-line arguments. This will, however,
defeat the point of being newbie friendly...]
Closes PR 12893.

use it to improve some installer texts.
(Also update comment about required macro definitions.)

It's now simpler, shorter, and better. Some of the text is revised,
accepts environment variables when asked for the path, some additional
fixes in misc places.

This makes it behave more like the Windows installer, where the default
is to remove an older installation, which most people want to do anyway.
