Magma 1.4 on Pharo 1.4 and beyond

[Stuart Herring]

Hi Cris,

I might be able to take it on.  I don't have a huge amount of time, but I
use Magma for most of my projects, so I'm likely to end up doing it for my
own sake anyway (either that, or stop using it, and I don't want to do
that, because it's spoilt me for most other methods of persistence) - I
might as well share the result.

A fork probably would make the most sense - though given how well you've
split it up, I'm imagining that the bulk of the packages would be able to
stay untouched - it'd mostly be the serialization packages which add
extension methods to classes that no longer exist, and the few that touch
some of the more drastic changes like FileSystem that would require forking.

I've actually already been maintaining my own private Metacello
configuration for Magma 1.3 that loads it on Pharo 1.3, 1.4 and 2.0 anyway.

BTW - it looks like you haven't copied Magma-Pharo-Tester from Squeaksource
over to the Squeaksource 3 repository.

Regards,
Stuart
