Tobias,

I did not have time to follow up on this, but I will do so Monday evening
if you (or someone else) has not been able to do it.

In addition to deleting files from the file system, here is what I think
needs to be done in the SS image (please tell me if I am wrong):

  allVersions := (SSRepository current projectAt: 'trunk') versions.
  spurEntries := allVersions keys  select: [:e | '*spur*' match: e name ].
  spurEntries do: [ :e | allVersions removeKey: e ].

If I make the changes I'll just download the image, fix it, and load it
back to box4.squeak.org. The ss.log file will tell us if any updates were
missed, so I think this will be good enough (but we should get the VNC
service working too).

@eliot Sorry this is not a quick fix, but please see the box-admins posts
here to see what is being done:
