The necessary support has somehow survived in Squeak trunk as well,
see also FileDirectory class>>openSources:forImage:

#compressSources encounters an error in trunk, but a little bit of fiddling
around would probably get it working.

It looks like you just need to write a compressed EtoysV3.sources.stc
file using #compressSources, and it might just work :)
