Magma/Pharo

[Chris Muller]

Daniel, just to be clear.

Magma is not yet supported on Pharo 1.2, but it is part of my plans to
do so.  In fact, I plan to look into it this month.

Please note that I expect Pharo to eventually produce resources
(developers or money) to assist with Magma support and upgrades as
Pharo becomes more and more divergent from Squeak in the future.
