That first "raco" is not intended, right?

Yes, it's an "ell", and not a typo. `-l- raco` is short for `-l raco
--`, where `--` causes any later argument that start with "-" to be
passed on to `raco` instead of treated as a flag to `racket`.

Yes, although I bet you'll need
racket -G /path/to/windows/etc -X /path/to/windows/collects \
-l- raco pkg install -i <pkg>
to install some packages that "target.rkt" uses, since the unpacked
".tgz" will have only the "base" package.
