[Seaside] Grease - get image directory

[Dale Henrichs]

It's a bit more complicated for GemStone, as GemStone/S doesn't have an image, but the there is an equivalent interpretation. 

I would think that perhaps a better notion is to define something like smalltalkRoot or smalltalkHome that has platform-specific defaults, but can be overridden at the image level... 

Something like this is required for handling disk-based assets in a generic manner ...
