Put a 'voluntary registration' window in the distributed images. One
could also include a checkbox for registration on the squeak-dev mailing list,
for publication-or-not of the individual's data as a Squeaker, etcetera. A bit
like the Linux registration counter, idea-wise...

(we could also try to collect some stats from the main download sites - all
these FTP server logs must be good for something :-))
