I didn't say SqueakMap depended on SARInstaller.  I meant that packages 
that are packaged as SARs depend on SARInstaller.  So when you try to 
install a SAR package and don't have SARInstaller, it will get installed 
first since it is a dependency.

Yeah, but I don't think you ever need to install all the installers, you 
just install the ones you depend on when you need them.
