[UI] IDE extensions

[Bill Schwab]

Another Dolphin concept that Squeak would do well to emulate is
triggering an event when new tool shells are opened.  This allows easy
creation of extensions to the IDE, w/o having to modify base system code
that can clash with future updates.  Any time a relevant shell is
opened, it triggers #viewOpened: off of its _class_, with itself as an
argument.  Then one can do things like

   Debugger when:#viewOpened: send:#hackDebuggerMenu to:self

to modify menus, etc.  It might be of greater utility in Dolphin than in
Squeak, but any gaps might stimulate improvements in Squeak.
