What I've done is to copy manually .changes and .image to my
src/Squeak directory, and I made a link to Sources.
What I think is that it can be easly done in C, I mean: check if
squeak.image/changes exist, if they don't try to find them somewhere else,
and make a copy if found. Then (or preciosly) ttry to find Sources and make a
symbolic link.
This should be really easy.
Easiest Bye!
