Matthew Flatt dfbb7040aa improve support for layered and tethered installations
Various "config.rktd" options are meant to support creating layers of
installation that builds existing layers. Configuration options also
supports a "tethering" mode that makes `raco setup` create launchers
that bind to the configration (so an environment variant doesn't have
to be set). While several pieces of this idea were in place in commit
6369e56709, it wasn't really finished, and there was no documentation
to explain how things are intended to work.

There's definitely still room for tools that automate the steps for
setting up a layer and tethering.

Along the way, this commit cleans up the `(find-system-path
'exec-file)` aspect of embedding executables as launchers to make them
consistent across platforms and work right as tethered launchers.

Racket is a general-purpose programming language and an ecosystem for language-oriented programming.

This repository holds the source code for the core of Racket plus some related packages. The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.

Quick Start

Pre-built versions of Racket for a variety of operating systems and architectures, as well as convenient source distributions are available at

https://download.racket-lang.org

Racket comes with extensive documentation, including several tutorials. You can read all of this documentation, as well as documentation for third-party packages at

https://docs.racket-lang.org
