[ANN] Named Process (on SqueakMap)

Adds a "name" instance variable and accessing methods (#processName;
#processName:) to Process. This enhancement encourages the naming of
processes for easier debugging (it makes the process browser nicer to
look at (but only when processes are actually named)). It also adds the
method BlockContext>>forkNamed: for easy forking of named processes.

Further enhancement possibility: A nice enhancement to Comanche would be
to have Comanche services name the process that they start and stop
(then looking at the process browser, one could easily identify the
processes created by Comanche services).

It can be installed from SqueakMap or downloaded here:
