Just a few data points:

The 4.0 dev image at etoys.laptop.org is identical to the original tinlizzie one except it has been saved at 800x600 pixels and Pango was disabled. See

svn log http://etoys.laptop.org/svn/trunk/etoys/etoys-dev.image

I made the Sugar release image from that dev image by running these scripts in Linux:

http://etoys.laptop.org/svn/trunk/etoys/mkRelease.sh
http://etoys.laptop.org/svn/trunk/etoys/mkRelease.st

(though for the 4.0.2339 release I cheated and re-saved the release image while running in a 1200x900 Sugar emulator [being careful to first enter the empty top project] so that on startup on the XO the menu bar does not have to be rebuild)

The Mac release and To-Go release I built on a Mac using the scripts that formerly resided at

http://svn.squeakland.org/installers/

There was buildImage.sh / buildImage.st that updated the image, and makeEtoysMac / makeEtoysToGo to create the app bundles. I ran the setVersion script between building the image and bundling the app to adjust the version numbers while avoiding manual errors when it was getting late.
