[UI] ToolBuilder

[Bill Schwab]

I am not thrilled about Squeak's (smart) reference streams on two front:
(1) size of the output; (2) ability to cope with layout changes.  SIXX
might be a better choice.  Rumor control tells me that it has grown some
new layout change features.

IMHO, Dolphin's binary filer is the standard to beat with respect to
layout changes (at least given one owner of the classes), and on size
(where I have checked it against the competition).

I didn't know you could dump arbitrary objects to files. Thanks
for mentioning that. I see Object>>saveOnFile now

However, by fileout, I really meant "snapshot in a Monticello
repository". I can easily snapshot and version code, but not
anything else using the supported tools that I know of.
