I think you're right. I will add this description.

Indeed, with easy_squeakvm script you have reproducibility (all is
automated, explicit svn rev. and ConfigurationOfVMMaker).

May be we can "translate" easy_squeakvm to Smalltalk so we can have an
EasySqueakVM package (or better name) which is cross platform.
