In the latest 2.8 builds for the vw-dev program we've changed this back 
to use the same paths as regular Seaside - and have added a 
configuration option to change it so that users can easily remove the 
/seaside/ root path if they want (or mount it somewhere else too).

I believe this was originally done because of Web ToolKit and the way it 
mounts paths.

So this is gone too with Michel's change - it now does baseName := 
SeasidePlatformSupport defaultDispatcherName and will therefore be the 
same on all platforms instead of doing the specific isSqueak test as it 
had done previously.
