Hi Nicolas, no I haven't. This is basically for my Newbies tutorials for 
Squeak and Friends, and if I have to start doing that, it is no longer a 
newbie tutorial. At this level, even using Monticello to load a new 
package is a big deal.

Besides I'm lazy, and fiddling with settings isn't a long term fix which 
is what the community needs in order to, say, attract IRC bot writers (a 
discussion on #programming at irc.freenode.net on the best language to 
write an IRC bot in prompted my interest in the package in the first 
place, and then I found that I had to debug the libraries before I could 
do a tutorial on how to bring up the simple client, letalone do a simple 
bot).
