Which reminds me ... I would still welcome feedback on www.squeaksource.com/UTCDateAndTime,
which can be loaded into a 64-bit trunk Spur image like this:

  (Installer ss project: 'UTCDateAndTime') install: 'Chronology-Core-dtl.3.mcz'. "load starting mcz"
  (MCMcmUpdater updateMapNamed: 'update' repository: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/UTCDateAndTime') doUpdate: false.
