Well, that's what we've worked on. Maybe you should try it again - lots
of things work, basically all the menu items in all the menus except the
"RB - Class" menu (and some of those do too).

Of course, I might have bugs I'm unaware of, and some things are still
not there.

Haven't tried this, but this should work -
Project fromUrl:
'http://squeak.heeg.de:8080/TFODC69UQ0MFRIHMG40DRML1CU7VYZ9-2/Squeak
RB.pr'

And then do RefactoringBrowser openBrowser.

The integration of menus to which you refer we have not done for now.
How'd you prefer it to be? should the same labels now have the new
functionality? (this would mean the RefactoringBrowser and Browser
behave slightly differently when you choose the menu item)
