[Newbies] Changesets, Monticello and SqueakMap

[Milan Zimmermann]

Norbert,

There is a document I created with the intend to explain Monticello, SqueakMap 
and SqueakSource, mostly to myself :) . It is not finished by far, so I hope 
it will not mislead you (only the first third is what I would consider 
finished, up to about step 1.4 and also skip the "Project Terms and 
Comparison of Tools" wich is still wrong)
