That'd be a good thing for lots of people.

Both are classified (in SqueakMap) as bleeding edge/barely runnable, and  
that was in version 3.4. I tried installing on 3.7 anyway and got  
"Undefined Object as yet unclassified  Nothing".

For giggles, I looked for a version 3.4 for a while before realizing I  
still had Marcus's excellent Smalltalk DVD images on one of my  
hard-drives. Tried loading up BobsUI--same error.

So, I guess what I'm wondering is whether it would be worth it to invest a  
bunch of time in some old, unready code sets (like BobsUI or Prefab)  
versus investing it in new, unready code sets (like Tweak).<s>
