Does this mean we are building duplicate mechanisms for dependencies?
Or is this mechanism only intended to be used "within" a SqueakMap
package?

To me this sounds like a "load script". Does it mean that I can not
"avoid" these to be run if I install a SAR containing them? That would
mean it "trips up" any other scheme for managing dependencies (like the
one I am planning).

In short - it worries me a bit... Both that you are building these
things "into" the package (instead of keeping it outside) and that this
will probably "conflict" with my upcoming plans for SqueakMap.

Not that I can tell anyone what to do of course. Diversity is good. :-)

I just want to know and understand the rationale etc.
