New SqueakSource image is running

[Doug Way]

Got the new SqueakSource image running, it seems to work all around, 
and it is generating .mcd files when requested!

I only tested .mcd-getting via a browser.  (I haven't verified in an 
image that the .mcd files are correct, though I imagine they are.)  For 
example, enter this in a browser:

http://source.squeakfoundation.org/39a/Tests-md.5(3).mcd

I see that these .mcd files are being cached in the ss directory on the 
server.

So anyway, we should be able to get the update stream working again 
soon...

Actually, the culprit was a new 'stepChildren' instvar in MCAncestry 
(which is inherited by MCVersionInfo), not just reordered variables.  
But anyway, your suggestion of loading - adding new var - saving - 
worked.

So, that also means that I didn't need to start from a new data.obj, so 
no one should need to re-create their SqueakSource logins.  (And I did 
add superadmin access for myself and Marcus while I was in there.)
