[Seaside] Options to distribute Squeak (Seaside) app withoutsource code

[Carl Gundel]

But if you strip out the right development tool stuff when you package your 
app that can make it very hard for people to look at the decompiled 
bytecode.  Remove inspectors, browsers, the decompiler, etc. and also make 
sure that no Smalltalk code can be filed in so that the tools can't be added 
back in.  You should be okay in theory against most would be hackers.  The 
only way to examine the application then would be to have some sort of image 
file browsing tool.
