[Seaside-dev] Detecting installed Seaside versions?

[Andreas Raab]

I have zero experience with Metacello (I know hardly more about it then 
it's name) but let's try an example: Assume I'm downloading one of the 
older 2.8 images, what do I need to do to have Metacello tell me "this 
image has Seaside 2.8 installed"?

Cheers,
