[squeakland] Teachers can make QuickGuides for their own lessons

[Ted Kaehler]

Steve,
	If you name the project "NavBarBob.001.pr" instead of 
"NavBarBob.pr.001", everything should work normally.  Our convention 
is that .pr is the extension.  The version number is before that.
	The largest numbered version will be the one fetched.  If 
there is any issue, just remove all but the latest version.
	In the JumpTo menu, the standard known categories appear 
first, and then the new ones.

--Ted.
