I added Number >> #milliseconds to Xtreams-VWCompatible, because Squeak 
has #milliSeconds for some reason and the tests use #milliseconds

I also uploaded a new version of Xtreams-CoreTests which doesn't use
#after:do:. This change may use Squeak specific stuff, revert it if you 
don't like it. All tests (except for the base64 related) are passing 
reliably, no more random failures.
