Since the score's currently {squeak-smalltalk: 3 squeak-project: 0} (I
changed my mind - today, it's more important to let people find us),
I've renamed the organisation to "squeak-smalltalk".

I must stress that this can be changed; I'm squatting the name until
the community rejects it.

(Now if I could just see some commits in proportion to the amount of
bikeshedding I'd be even happier! (*))

(*) Not that there's been a huge amount of bikeshed. I remain in hope/horror.
