Right, that might be a good way to handle it once the dependency stuff 
is in place.

However, I'm guessing it will be a while before the dependency stuff is 
working, so in the meantime, I agree that it would be good to simply 
install the SARInstaller as part of the SqueakMap install.  (Which I 
guess would be done with a load script as Goran described.)

There are a number of packages on SqueakMap now which expect SAR to be 
available, such as Roel's, and people are starting to submit [BUG] 
reports about this problem (see Ross Boylan's message), so perhaps Goran 
will be able to add this soon. :-)
