[Q] ConflictChecker, any experience?

I just uploaded a new version of ConflictChecker to SqueakMap which 
will now check for conflicts with classes which have been removed from 
the image.  It's a simple test... unfortunately it won't tell you which 
update-changeset contained the class removal (as it does with other 
types of conflicts), but it does flag the conflict, at least.

This should make the ConflictChecker more useful for checking conflicts 
with the recent package removals...
