[Seaside] Seaside, Traits, portability

[stephane ducasse]

just a last remark:
	traits do not exist at run-time AT ALL. They are just structuring  
static elements.
	So this to me like saying that using MC is not good to run squeak  
application.
	I do not really understand the problem that traits have. May be I'm  
too stupid to understand.
	especially since for ports the code can be without traits.
