[squeak-dev] Getting from GitBrowser to the System Browser

Hi,

Tom provided the fix and the pull request, and I integrated it. So
yes, we work together.

Now to update an existing installation I suppose one should use Metacello:

    Metacello new
        repository: 'github://squeak-smalltalk/squeak-tonel:squeak';
        baseline: 'Tonel';
        get; load.

Kind regards,
Jakob

I decided to not load Athena at all and started putting together an alternative Balloon backend instead (I am aware that Athena has a Balloon backend as well, the one I found consisted mostly of stubs, however). The resulting quality does not compare with Cairo, of course, but the basics were up and running very quickly.
