 >> What would you do?

OK, since you asked, I'll take a shot at it. You're a better programmer 
than I am, but I have no shortage of opinions, so...

Autogenerated install scripts are a bad idea. GemTalk Systems SS3 has 
them and they always seem slightly wrong to me. I never use them. I 
suspect few people do. First, abandon the inclusion of an autogenerated 
scripts.

Add a field to the admin page for the project, where the admin can paste 
in an install script of some kind. Could be ConfigurationOfXXX, Gofer, 
Installer, doesn't matter. This appears in the window where you have 
your autogenerated scripts now. The user can copy it into a Workspace. 
You're not responsible for any kind of compatibility with Pharo, Squeak, 
whatever. It's just a string made publicly available.

C'est la.

I am surer ground asking for what I want. I want you to make the SS3 
image available for public download. I want to move the Altitude 
squeak.org site I have to Seaside. The Twitter Bootstrap compatibility 
is more complete. And it would be better if new images for Squeak 
infrastructure could try to be one single framework instead of a 
different one for every application. (i.e. Aida, HTTPView2, Seaside, and 
Swiki).

Thanks,
Chris
