Woah! Now that's service! :)

Is building DrRacket something I can do myself? I've been a (mostly hobby) 
programmer for a long time, so it's only Racket that I'm unfamiliar with. I did 
a quick search and didn't see any obvious instructions (actually, I haven't 
even found the source code yet; looks like it's not in the main Racket source, 
and there's no separate repository for it under github/plt?). But I'll keep 
looking...

Also I've accumulated a list of other polish/feature requests based on my first 
impressions. Are you interested in those? They're mostly minor, but...much as I 
hate to agree with Paul Graham, I think there's some truth to it when he says 
"It's worth trying very, very hard to make technology easy to use. [...] A 10% 
improvement in ease of use doesn't just increase your sales 10%. It's more 
likely to double your sales."
