- always use SQUEAKLETS command line argument if given
Squeaklets seem to be used only as a temporary directory to assemble projects before uploading it to a project server. Should we look at using environment variables like TEMP or TMPDIR before falling back to SQUEAKLETS? The default location for squeaklets really hurts in the To-Go version where flash memory is used as a temp location.
This could even be done in the launcher script if it is specific to Unix/Linux deployments.

Yes, you can set the SQUEAKLETS argument from the launcher script, for example based on an env var. Until now it was ignored unless Etoys detected it was running under Rainbow. But now it should always use that argument if given.
