And I guess I should also note that the description of scripts in the Unix 
Squeak manpage doesn't seem to work with a stock image.

There are two problems:

* relative filenames don't work right (they need to be translated into full 
file:// URLs)
* the 'shebang' line is not skipped properly:

#!/usr/bin/squeak --
Smalltalk inform: 'hello there.'.

should work, but Squeak chokes on the first line.
