This was on plate to harvest the fixes that andreas mentioned but I  
was having problems with MC merging the packages of andreas
so I did things one by one. There will be in the next batch.

What I can tell you is that it is extremely frustrating for me  
because I do not have the overview and I tried
really hard to avoid as mess/backwards compatibility problems as  
possible but Squeak is huge.
