[ENH] BitstreamVera Install for 3.7

This is the BitstreamVera font installer changeset candidate for 
3.7alpha. The BitstreamVera fonts are a nice set of free antialiased 
fonts which will be nice to have in the release image. This install 
requires that the latest ShortQuantitiesEndian.cs fix is installed 
first. (either Yoshiki's or Ned's version will work)

The changeset itself is too large to post to the list (about 340K 
uncompressed), so it's available here:

http://www.mindspring.com/~dway/smalltalk/BitstreamVeraFonts-dew.4.cs.gz


 From the preamble:
--------------------------
Install the BitstreamVera fonts, which are in the postscript in 
MIME-encoded compressed format. (Requires that the latest 
ShortQuantitiesEndian.cs fix is installed.)

Also set the default window-title font to BitstreamVeraSans13, which 
looks a lot nicer than the previous auto-bolded NY font.

For reference, the following DoIt (with double quotes escaped) was used 
to generate the postscript for this changeset, from an image with the 
fonts already installed :

| fileStream |
fileStream _ StandardFileStream forceNewFileNamed: 
'BitstreamVeraFonts-dew.cs'.
#(#BitstreamVeraSans #BitstreamVeraSansMono #BitstreamVeraSerif)
do: [ :styleName | | compressed |
compressed _ (TextConstants at: styleName) compressedMIMEEncodedStream 
contents.
fileStream
cr; cr;
nextPutAll: '""Install ';
nextPutAll: styleName asString;
nextPutAll: ' font""'; cr; cr;
nextPutAll: 'TextStyle collectionFromCompressedMIMEString: ''';
nextPutAll: compressed;
nextPutAll: '''.'; cr].
fileStream close.
