[ANN] SqueakMap Package Loader new release

Release 1.14 uses UIManager instead of Cursor in ToolBuilderPlus,  
which seems to make it entirely UI-independent except for the ability  
to launch a FileList2 (which UIManager does not address non-modally),  
and factors out a standard #defaultLabel method from the window label  
methods.

Known Issues:
- The ToolBuilder-based package loader's search pane does not update  
the package list selection.
- Does not include its own Namespace implementation and syntax hack.
