Just a couple of stupid questions as I'm trying to use DVS for 
connectors:

* the docs on your website and the swiki need to have some names 
changed (especially changing Module to Package everywhere), right?

* where is the fabled "Add" button on the DVS UI (PackagePanel?)? Or 
is this just a matter of adding a PackageInfo subclass?

* What has to go in the PackageInfo subclass? I see that externalName 
provides the default fileOut name. Is there anything there that is 
usefully overridden?

* Where do I put my change set's prolog? I have to rename classes, 
convert instances, etc. before any loading happens.

* where do I put the CS postscript? I make flaps, etc. when the 
project is loaded.

* How is all this tied in with CVS via OSProcess? I can't get this to 
work (well, part of it is that CommandShell segfaults Squeak...)

* How do I abort loading if there is a missing pre-requisite 
identified in the prolog, wherever it gets put?

Thanks,
