[Fluxus] compiling on Debian without recompiling racket

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Hi all,

Just had a funstrating 2 hour session getting fluxus to build on Debian 
Wheezy (currently Testing).

With the attached patches, Fluxus compiles and installs ok like this:

$ scons \
     RacketPrefix=/usr \
     Prefix=${HOME}/opt \
     STATIC_MODULES=1 \
     ADDONS=0
$ scons \
     RacketPrefix=/usr \
     Prefix=${HOME}/opt \
     STATIC_MODULES=1 \
     ADDONS=0 \
     install

and even seems to work (though there are some openal issues I started to 
try to figure out then gave up as both -audio and -openal modules define 
a same-named symbol 'Audio' with different types):

$ fluxus
Welcome to fluxus.
Type (help) for info.

I attached the (self-test #t) log too, in case it is useful.

Hopefully at least some of these patches can make their way into the 
master branch soon in some form or another:

0001/0002/0003 are for getting a static build not to fail miserably
0005/0006 are needed for static builds to run, but are a bit hacky
0004/0007 cancel each other out, so ignore them

Thanks,


Claude
