Smalltalk appendChangesTo: 'SqueakV44.sources'

Would shrink the image a couple of M, but fails with Error: Unmatched 
string quote. (It failed when I tried to use it on 4.3 as well. Which is 
why Squeak 4.3 did not have a SqueakV43.sources)

Smalltalk unloadAllKnownPackages

in the Future Directions welcome workspace fails with Error: Unmatched 
string quote. Both of those problems relate to the Scanner.
