Yes. Thanks for the tip.

I am sure it will become the preferred way for children. I have been carrying 
Etoys on a chip for over two years and I can't imagine working any other way 
now :-).

Looks good. The TMP copy trick can also be merged. It will be a null-op for 
traditional launch from /usr/share.

etoys.sh is maturing well. We could retain Linux-i686/squeak as a binary and 
move etoys.sh as Linux-i686/etoys. A small desktop launcher at the top level 
can override the default settings in this launcher. This would be consistent 
across platforms. See

I haven't figured out how to do such overrides on OSX yet. I am sure there is a 
way.
