The diff-file generation is not working on the SqueakSource server that
we are currently using at http://source.squeakfoundation.org.

I'm working on the problem now, trying to set up a new SqueakSource
image with Bert's diff generation capability included.  (Avi originally
set up the SS image, but he's offline for awhile so I'm taking that over
for now.)  In theory we could just not use the diff generation and have
everyone load the full .mcz for every update, but IMO that might hammer
the squeaksource server a bit hard and we might as well just get the
diff generation working, since it's already working at Impara.

Bert helpfully sent out the list of a dozen or so installed packages in
the Impara SqueakSource image, but installing these packages in a fresh
3.7 image is turning out to be not as trivial as it should be, although
it should be doable.  (E.g. I had to first track down all the packages;
some of them need to be loaded in a certain order; some (KomHttpServer)
seem to require being installed via SqueakMap and not MC; I ran across a
bug in SimpleServiceEntry (which I fixed) which prevented some packages
from being installed; etc.)

Hey Bert, what is in your SystemFixes-bf package?  I didn't see that one
anywhere online... that may save me some trouble.

Anyway, I'm getting a bit more busy again lately, so my time spent
working on this is limited.  Marcus, if you (or anyone else) have a
decent amount of free time and want to work on this, that would be
great... you'd just have to start with a 3.7 basic image and install the
packages Bert listed in his post, then start up the SS server locally
and test it via http://localhost:9090 and make sure the diff (mcd) file
generation and everything else is working.  On the other hand, I think I
could probably get it working in the next 2-3 days.
