Well historically we've choosen to have the installation process  
build the directories and copy the files about, versus having the  
directory creation buried in the VM.  I could change that, but I'm  
not sure we've an agreed upon behaviour that is somewhat (or not?)   
cross platform?

On the mac we could have

/Application/SqueakLand/Squeak/Internet/Squeak.app which contains the  
image, and plugins, that removes these older plugins and browser  
interface files.

KedamaPlugin.bundle
LocalePlugin.bundle
mpeg3Plugin.bundle
NPSqueak.bundle
NPSqueakStubCFM
PrintJobPlugin.bundle
SqueakPlugin.image

also we delete the

/Application/SqueakLand/Squeak/Plugins directory.

and add in the  new Squeak.app and
SqueakBrowserPlugin.plugin which needs to be symbolic linked to the ~/ 
Library/Internet Plug-Ins/  folder
I'll note the /Application/SqueakLand/Squeak/Internet/ still contains  
the prefs folder, and the Squeak.keys file.

Since all users share the application folder, we make the ~/Squeak/ 
Internet/My Squeak folder to contain user specific files.
