So, the question is: how does one create the old school Squeak distribution of source/image/chages files + a VM application?

There's no documentation for that on the new website that I can find, and while I'm pretty sure I can sorta tease things apart in the Mac all-in-one and combine them properly in a folder, I'd prefer a standardized way to do it that I can point people to.

Also, is it true that Squeak 4.5 all-in-one is now using the Cog VMs? Is that standard on all platforms, and is it the stack interpreter or the accelerated version? How does one make sure that the fastest version is being used, BTW?

The Squeak 4.5 all-in-one provides Cog VMs.

The usual range of VMs is provided on squeakvm.org, including pointers to the Cog VMs used in the all-in-one.

You are right, the squeak.org website should have some sort of explanation of how to find the traditional image + VM installation. The all-in-one is a very convenient way to provide a download for new users, but I do not actually use it myself and I suspect that I am not alone in that regard.

I haven't update these for 4.5 because I've been busy but that shouldn't prevent them from working

You'll just need to get the correct image, and it'll make you an all-in-one

You could trim out the platforms you don't want to support too.
