[squeak-dev] Installer loading cryptography mcm files: used to work (I think) and doesn't now

Hello tim,

Oh dear, I regret hearing about regressions. You chose the correct code 
to load. From thinking about what you have said and the earlier 
Metacello issues from recent changes, I suspect that the 
MCHttpRepository (Is that it's name?) and friends have changed for the 
worse. Would anyone knowledgeable about Metacello be able to look at 
loading MCM files, please?

Kindly,
rabbit

This is a *plain 5.3-19435 release image, freshly started* and just run the incantation in a workspace. I've tried several older configurations from the Cryptography repository in case I screwed up the mcm file, but no change.   When I examine the mcm files they clearly don't have any repository names in there. I'm baffled how using that install command could have loaded anything.
