Yes, I thought Stephane was aware of that so I read his posting as a
request in favour of including the SM code in the image. And if he wants
to include a CD with a book or something then he would need to cater for
people being offline. But as I said - a bit of refinement of the
bootstrap code (to look in local directory first for the SM base code)
and then adding a bit of cache-smartness in SM then this would be simple
to achieve.

Right. Btw - this also means I should add a method for uninstalling SM
so that it doesn't end up "accidentally" being included in the 3.4
image! SM is easily uninstallable now - there are NO class extensions at
all - simply remove the classes.
