SqueakMap feature request

Just a random thought that occured to me: it would be nice if every
release on SqueakMap could optionally provide multiple URLs: one for a
fresh install, and one for an update from an earlier version (or range
of earlier versions). How this gets used would depend on the package
format: for example, you might have a full .cs for the fresh install,
and a smaller incremental .cs (with appropriate removals etc) for
upgrading from the previous version. Or you might have a .st file for
the fresh install, but a .mcz (for which you would have to install
Monticello) for the upgrade. Or the upgrade version might be a SAR
with a special script for updating existing instance data, and so on.
If you're skipping some intermediate versions and there's no direct
update provided, SqueakMap could even be smart enough to apply the
updates one by one as needed...
And no, there's no code attached to this email. But if people like the
idea I'd be willing to implement it.
