Like see things I proposed very moons ago and was rejected now seems fine to
do.

Last time Bert said Etoys people maintain Connectors and mine suggestion of
a SqueakSource package rejected.

As for .sar, I remember all have a log time modified Monticello which just
could have .mcz files into SqueakSource which contains all you need , code,
pictures, morphs, etc.

Good job.
