[ANN] Installer from the command line

keith1y
Installer can now be used as a squeak startup document with various
command line parameters.

Example "short story":

Start squeak with Installer as the startup document*, point it at a web
page with an install script on it, when the script completes, the image
can be saved automatically. Control is then passed on to a second
script/class which could test your new image generating a test report,
then the image can automatically quit.

how about that!

* local file:/ startup documents appear to be broken in 3.9
p.s. only tested in 3.9 so far
