Can I volunteer on this task? There's some work in
my team done in Racket; and it would be of great
interest to us to have a working Racket build
system. I can set apart some time to work on
this. I'd ask for alot of guidance/ review on this
though :)

Please do share the notes! I can try to hack
something up \m/\m/.
