You need to load my patch to get Monticello Configurations to work:

Go signup at www.squeakSource.com I'll add you as a developer.  The right
way to go here is using Monticello.  Getting up to speed is pretty easy.  
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/43 .

The easiest thing is to just save your changes into our repository.  You can
also save you code until you are ready in your package-cache or in a
separate directory.  I run my own squeakSource image to manage my changes.

I'm using a 3.9 image.  That's where most of the latest crypto work has been
done.  I suggest you sick with that for now.
