For example, we could/should have a "SqueakCore" package which does
not install anything just unloads packages and fixes-up the image's
object memory in special ways.  Another example might be to boot-strap
a Spoon system.

A catalog of boot-straps to other places.  An open canvas.  Smalltalk
script makes perfect sense for this.  Granted, most times it will mean
simply installing packages.
