If by "how they did it" you mean how we got rid of the underscore then 
the answer is: Just. Do. It. All the tools are out there, there is 
FixUnderscores package by Bert which you can use to convert the entire 
image, then all you need is to make the compiler treat the underscore as 
an undefined character, and off you go. Simple.

The Croquet release comes with a "Homebase.image" which is the base 
image that Croquet was built upon. It's in the deployment directory for 
people who would like to set up custom Croquet images that may include 
more or less of the stuff in the release (the Qwaq product images are 
derived from it, too). It is effectively 3.8 plus some Croquet specific 
modifications.
