The definitions are stored in a set at (squeaksource) project level.
Each definition in the MCVersion snapshot is looked up there.

The deduplication of MCVersionInfos was too radical, I've ignored the

First goal was an archive format for code analysis. For that, it is a 
nice experiment. Loading and saving a whole archive takes a while, much 
more than just one mcz.
