Ok, I don't have time at this exact moment to make sure it is perfectly
clean BUT:

	SMSqueakMap default loadUpdates; upgradeOldPackages; purge.


This will first dowload the current map at the time of running the
update (important to understand what that means), upgrade all
*installed* packages according to SM, and then purge the map which is a
good thing to do in an image about to be distributed. It saves more than
1Mb of saved image!

Also notice that since I "fixed" the transparency bug of the loader
yesterday it will suddenly work fine (since it gets upgraded).

NOTE: Since the upgradeOldPackages method will upgrade all installed
packages to any newer available releases *at the time of running the
above snippet* - this snippet will not do the exact same thing very time
it is run. If you want it to be "repeatable" instead then I need more
time to give you a snippet with one line per package release we want to
install. Easy done, but I am pressed right now, perhaps someone else can
do that.
