Hi Mariano,

Glad I'm not alone!  :)

Thanks for this!  It is super cool.  I have loaded it successfully in Squeak 5.2 running Seaside 3.2.  

(One immediate difference I noticed:  no more Seaside walkback in the browser.  [Not a problem!  Just noting here.]  A stalled browser means I need to go to my image, where I will find a Debugger open.)

So, it did not work with Squeak out-of-the-box, but I have made the necessary modifications for it to work.  

I have adapted WADynamicVariable>>#getAllOpenedSeasideDebuggers and added a package protocol method to Debugger, such that #session just returns self.

Unfortunately I don't believe I can use this "cypress" packaged format with Squeak (I have no 'gitfiletree', only 'filetree') so I do not know how to contribute my changes (from Squeak) as a fork commit & pull request.  Therefore, attached is an old-fashioned change set file.

Summary of changes:
	* adjustments for platform independence 
	* searching for Squeak Debuggers now too
	* package protocol on Debugger:  I assume this means this changeset won't load on platforms without a Debugger class (?)
	* broke up WADynamicVariable>>#getAllOpenedSeasideDebuggers into multiple methods
	* added carriage returns to Transcript shows
	* typo fix

If you do have some suggestions for another way for me to contribute this please let me know.  I am quite comfortable with Git and etc., but without GitFileTree I imagine I may be out of luck.

Thanks again,
Tim
