[ANN] ConfigurationOfMagma for Pharo 1.0, Pharo 1.1 and Pharo 1.2

[Chris Muller]

Thanks Miguel, you have definitely done better than I ever did at
making a clear, coherent, clean installation.  Your solution to the
FlapTab warning is creative, although I'm curious whether it was
possible to simply handle the warning in the load-script and resume
it?  Ah, one bad aspect of simply handling / resuming Warning is that
it would tend to hide any future warnings about other classes (which
might be important)..

Also, I'm curious about why it was necessary to capture and restore
the underscore-assignment setting for 1.1r2.  Did I miss some
underscores or is that only to support loading older Magma versions in
1.1?

> Pharo 1.0
> ----------------------
>
> - 1.1r1 is the last versions that works in Pharo 1.0. This is because
> upstream Magma code depends on code that only exists on Pharo 1.1 and
> superior.
>

> - Pharo 1.1 and superior doesn't include FlapTab class anymore. Magma

> This avoid a warning prompt when installing Magma.
> - This Configuration includes support for installing Magma releases
