Well, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to just take care of it myself
so we can be done with this and hopefully release this on the intended
date.

OK, I've now done this and it was not too much trouble luckily since we
haven't included all that many updates to this version.

OK, I'd forgotten that the original size of the window for 3.10 was
640x480 since I use a tiling window manager.  That seems rather small to
me, even 800x600 seems small.  But I will think about it.

Hmm, yeah I didn't notice that comment but I myself wondered about the
inclusion of the various ReleaseBuilder classes
(ReleaseBuilderNihongo?).  I'm a bit troubled about this though.  I
really feel like that if someone takes an image and updates it fully
from the update stream up to a certain version, that with the exception
of maybe the changes file and displayed morphs, that it should be pretty
close to identical to the released image.  Again, something I need to
think more about.

No new directory but just as we will add a new
Squeak3.10.1-7175-basic.zip to the ftp.squeak.org/3.10/ directory
similarly the mac and win platform directories include a single download
zip file which includes everything needed: vm, changes, image, sources,
etc.  New versions of these will need to be built.
