Hi Hannes,

A bit slow, but you'll find a zip. (I'm a bit surprised that Windows
can't gunzip a file - doesn't Windows 7's built in unzipper support
it?)

I have _also_ put files called SqueakV44.sources(.gz|zip). These are
identical to the V41 sources, but I've realised that for automating
things you REALLY REALLY want to have the sources file name derivable
from the Squeak version. At some point I will need to make Squeak 4.4
look for a SqueakV44.sources file, and I've added an item to the todo
list to have Squeak 4.5 do this automatically as part of the release
cycle.
