Because I don't feel I have the authority to say "this is 3.10.3", it
has more in it than just a couple of maintenance fixes on top of 3.10.2.

I think date and time is needed as a convention for an automated build
system (we could loose a $-) that might run more frequently, and
potentially distributed. If you have any better ideas for naming then I
am open to ideas. I put the timestamp as a prefix to aid sorting, and to
free the suffix up for other uses. (Damiens use of a date in the suffix
overlaps with version .2.image .3.image etc).

Ran all the cleanUp methods before saving which includes purging the
SqueakMap data, which is probably 2Mb.
