Dear Edgar,
10/10 for your enthusiasm...
I quote this from Colin Putney:

First of all if 415 loaded into your image first time then I count that
as one success.
Secondly I reiterate my suggestion that using this Monticello 415 which
uses just the SystemEditor part of MC2 and this should be easier to get
working than attempting to redo everything with an as yet incomplete MC2.
But note what Colin says, compilation , i.e. actually using
SystemEditor, has yet to be tested, this was a surprise to me also.
This explains why MCPackageLoader2 is not enabled by default, i.e. it
doesnt work (yet).

And now, lets see if someone more awake than I can iron out the bugs in
SystemEditor. It looks like a great idea, and cleanly implemented, far
better than my vain attempts at MCPackageLoader1b, should be much faster
too. I think that some time spent on SystemEditor would be time well
spent for the community.
cheers
Keith
