 site(s) would be easier to get around if any or all of these were
 fixed: old versions from the Racket Download page, an easier to read
 redirection dialog, and only seeing that dialog once per visit.

Patches welcome.  See revision 2715 of iplt on the svn repository for
where to change things.

(The bad text size is something that I couldn't find out how to fix
yet, and the one-warning-per-visit requires adding code that will use
a cookie.)
