Installer can now be used as a squeak startup document with various 
command line parameters.

Example "short story":

Start squeak with Installer as the startup document*, point it at a web 
page with an install script on it, when the script completes, the image 
can be saved automatically. Control is then passed on to a second 
script/class which could test your new image generating a test report, 
then the image can automatically quit.

how about that!
