I can't figure out how to distribute an application that uses places. When this was brought up on the list once before (subject "Compiling a program with places"), Matthew suggested using `define-runtime-module-path', but I don't see how to make this work: `dynamic-place' does not take a resolved module path, and using `resolved-module-path-name' returns a symbol module name that is not understood by `dynamic-place'. The regular `place' form does not work either, as the executable generated by "raco exe" returns the following error:

place: the current module-path-name is not a file path

Even using built-in "db" library with the #:use-place option to the connection functions does not seem to work:

standard-module-name-resolver: collection not found: "db/private/generic" in any of: ()

Is there any way to make this work? The racket program we're using needs to be delivered onto computers where it's not necessary or desirable to have the full racket distribution installed, and we'd like to use places to prevent foreign calls (e.g. sqlite) from blocking the main runtime and for parallelism.
