I think the best option would be to create a SqueakSource project for
it and a SqueakMap or Universes entry so other people can use it. We
believe static resources like images and style sheets are best handled
by an external web server like Apache so we see no direct need to
include these patches. The first patch has been integrated into
Seaside because it helps the transition from file libraries to static
files (e.g. for Pier).
