no paragraph indent in tufte-book class

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi.

The tufte-book class has no indented paragraphs in r85. It seems that the 
ragged2e package 
overwrites the \parindent option. Interestingly, \maketitle fixes it back in 
tufte-handout. 

I think paragraphs should be indented. (a) It is in the Tufte books. (b) One 
cannot distinguish 
paragraphs with ragged right text and the last line of a paragraph happening to 
be of full length.

It does, however, break former formatting. So as in r80: any sidenote position 
tweaks and other 
vertical spacing tweaks you've applied may need to be recalculated.

I could fix it by inserting 
\setlength{\RaggedRightParindent}{1pc}
in l247 of tufte-common.sty

This bug has been haunting me for quite some time.  I couldn't figure out what 
was
resetting the parindent.  Thanks for tracking it down!

I've applied this fix in r86. 

I also adjusted the parindent to be 0.5pc for paragraphs in the margin 
(sidenotes and
the like) since 1pc looked too big.
