[squeak-dev] [Vm-dev] Condensing sources for a new release

Update - I resolved my library problem, and can run the traced image.
However, it opens with an empty black window (but no VM crash or error
messages).

The image that I converted was Squeak5.3beta-19335-64bit.image. I'll
try some others later.

Meanwhile if anyone else can give this a try, please do :-)
