Hi Daniel

I think that the real problem with Squeak right now is that the modules 
or any form of packaging
is ***needed*** but the henrik's modules failed. Obviously really few 
people are using 3.3
really few harvesting is done.... So this is making module working that 
is needed. Then there will be
no need to retro put stuff in 3.2 but you know like me that this is 
difficult. That's why I'm waiting for the
clean of Andreas in ScriptSqueak and see.
