A stupid checking:
adding the class UTF32InputInterpreter to the image (if it's not an olpc
image that already has this class), and assuring that
Latin1Environment>>inputInterpreterClass returns UTF32InputInterpreter ,
everything works with current mainstream squeak-vm. None of the last changes
on the olpc image are needed (at least for spanish language).

It's a very simple fix, I can not understand why this method is nowadays
still returning  MacRomanInputInterpreter.
Any reason to justify it?
Even in the olpc image there is a long conditional to assure
MacRomanInputInterpreter is returned when sugar is not present: am I loosing
something or there is no justification for this behaviour?

Regards.
