All right, the deed is done :-) The commit message didn't show since 
it's been too big but you can find it here:

	http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/packages/2010-July/003526.html

In addition the latest version of WebClient now registers itself with 
HTTPSocket so that if you load WebClient it will provide the 
implementation for HTTPSocket requests.

Please note that there's potential for breakage since the rewrite was 
quite significant. If you notice anything that's broken please report 
the issues here.
