As a matter of fact, I just discovered this, like, half an hour ago.
When you fileout a changeset, Squeak _always_ adds expressions to
initialize the class during filein.

Nah, since that's (arguably) correct behaviour.  I'll just change the
behaviour of the class initialization method.

The problem (for those that are curious) is that the #initialize
method would load a bunch of icons from disk into memory.  This worked
fine when you unzipped all the files into a directory and then filed
in the changeset from there because the files were there.  With the
introduction of SAR files though, the images are no longer on disk.
They're in the SAR.

I'm just going to remove that behaviour from the #initialize method
and make the SAR postscript do the work.

Thanks for the help, though.
