I know in general this is an ill-formed request.  Updating in general may require all the packages in the system.  But some packages (in my case Compiler and Kernel) have pretty limited dependencies and I know that they can be updated independently of the rest of the packages in the Newspeak image we're using (this image derived from Squeak 4.2 trunk with a slew of additions).  I want to update just Compiler and Kernel in our Newspeak image and I want in this case to avoid the long route, which is to apply our Newspeak bootstrap to trunk.

I'm not sure Kernel can be updated in one shot. We're add scripts to 
preamble/postscript and those are not kept when a new script has to be 
executed.
