Please compile change sets and attach them. That omits the need to grab it
from the body of the mail and check and reformat it. Please use [BUG] for
a bug report, [FIX] in the subject to denote a bug fix, and [ENH] for small
(or larger) improvements.

Currently, there're no test cases. We simply use the whole image as a test
case and hope that all I-don't-know-how-many-users-squeak-has users try out
the code. And we also trust in our skill :-) That worked quite well in
the past but there's probaly a lot of room for improvements.

Hm, I don't like that approach but can't suggest something better
here. The new - still not completely working - name space and isolated
project stuff might be an alternative.
