Matthew Flatt 3c6652b83c Adjust FrTime mailbox implementation to use `thread-{receive,send}'
instead of async channels. This change allows Fred to work. The
  change is needed due to implementation weaknesses at multiple
  levels, but mostly because `on-subwindow-event' has to complete
  atomically --- or else events are pessimistically discarded, and
  async-channel communication never completes atomically. In contrast,
  messages can be posted to the built-in message queue for a thread
  (because it's built in). Probably the async-channel library should
  switch to using the built-in thread queue support.

The Racket programming language
===============================

Important executables:

* DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!).

* Racket: the main command-line entry point for running racket programs
  and scripts.

* GRacket: the GUI-mode Racket executable.

* raco: Racket's command-line toolset.


More Information
----------------

Racket comes with extensive documentation: use DrRacket's `Help' menu,
or run `raco docs'.  Also, visit us at http://racket-lang.org/ for more
Racket resources.

Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README.
