I just now saw that there is more than just vm stuff.

The problem with WebClient and SqueakSSL as of now is, that
its maintenance-ship is, well, complicated. I went forth and
pushed tiny changes to WebClient by just being somewhat on 
my own initiative[1].

===========

Dear Squeak Community as a whole and dear Ron as person possibly 
best fit to make a decision on this:

	Should we put the maintainer-ship of WebClient and
	SqueakSSL into the hands of the Squeak Core Team?
