This is very cool!  The source code browses fine, of course it's always
pretty-printed (fine with me) and the comments aren't there, but I
imagine the total download is probably 1/3 the size.  (How much does
adding the temp names & organization add to the image size?)

I consistently get a "Error: No loader script found" walkback window
when I try the Fullwindow mode (plugintest.sts).  This happens on both
the Mac and Windows. (tested with Netscape 4.73)  Rest of stack is:

PluginLauncher(Object)>>error:
PluginLauncher>>startUp
[] in AutoStart class>>startUp
[] in BlockContext>>newProcess

However, everything seems to work fine, despite the presence of the
window.
