[squeak-dev] Broken trunk update and workaround

update-eem.400.mcm may be going back too far, I think I got past the
problem by starting with update-eem.403. Basically, if you can get up to
the update-eem.406.mcm level, then manually load Kernel-eem.1078, you
should be back in business.

But we do need to get the update stream fixed. We have a couple of ideas
bouncing around in emails, but as far as I know we don't yet have a
working solution.
