* This is in iplt/build/distribution-specs.
* Yes, there is a dependency now, this is bad -- but making it worse
is not a good idea. (You can see this by the fact that
"test-engine" appears in dr-extras instead of plt-extras)
* There is another issue here which is that the teaching languages are
intended to be used by themselves, are used in a handin server
situation, etc. Adding a preference-dependent option to this kind
of thing is bad.
