Thank you!  I think this is the thing I was looking for.

Re: [racket-users] Specifying Launcher Directory/Installation Executable Directory

[Matthew Flatt]

If you use "installation" scope instead of "user" scope for the
package, then launchers via `racket-launcher-names` will be in the same
directory as other main-installation executables, such as `raco`. To do
that, specify `-i` with `raco pkg install` or select "Specific Racket
Installation" for the "Scope" choice in DrRacket's package-installation
dialog.

Note that if you want other users to be able to run a launcher, then
they'll need access to the modules that are referenced by the
executable (as well as the executable itself), so those probably need
to be installation-wide instead of user-specific.

But if you want the launchers some place other than the user-specific
place or the installation-wide place, then `racket-launcher-names`
won't help. You'd have to fall back to `post-install-collection` to
call a more general launcher-creation function.

(I's possible to configure more layers than just "user" and
"installation" via "config.rktd", but that's almost certainly too much
trouble.)

[racket-users] Specifying Launcher Directory/Installation Executable Directory

[Eric Eide]

How does one specify the directory where a collection's launchers should be
installed?

The raco documentation describes `racket-launcher-names`
:

  * racket-launcher-names : (listof string?) — A list of executable names to be
generated in the installation's executable directory to run Racket-based
programs implemented by the collection.  [...]

In my experience, the "installation's executable directory" is generally
something like "$HOME/Library/Racket//bin".

How can I change this?  Suppose I want to install launchers to someplace
outside of $HOME, so that the tools are easily available to users other than
the one installing the software.

Thanks ---

Eric.

Thanks everyone for the good suggestions. Xsmith looks particularly 
appealing, looking forward to 1.0!
