Again Magma and 3.9

[Martin Beck]

Hi Chris,
our first try was indeed with the SqueakMap release. I'll give it a try 
now with some ip-changes. However our source code is somewhat silly 
because we're trying to switch from GOODS to Magma in our project. It is 
very far implemented so we tried to implement a Wrapper for a 
MagmaCollection to the interface of a TSTree. Perhaps this is the speed 
problem.

However, as we cannot get the benchmark to run we're not really 
convinced by now, because even MagmaTest kickoff doesn't work. It looks 
for a Magma*.1.st file, which we don't have.

But we'll keep trying... ;)

Greets,
Martin
