[ANN] Installer websqueakmap (supports Squeak3.7)

keith1y
Installer now supports installing Squeakmap packages via http e.g.

squeakmap := Installer websqueakmap.

squeakmap package: 'Labby & Walker'; install.

-----
Note although it provides the same api as the SMSLoader version,
'websqueakmap', is entirely based upon http: and querying
http://map.squeak.com

This means it will work in Squeak 3.7 and there is no reason why it
would not work in other pre SqueakMap2 images or indeed minimal kernal
images that do not have SqueakMap or full Monticello installed.

so older squeak versions and squeakmap live again!

enjoy

best regards

Keith

errata: of course I meant http://map.squeak.org

note: unfortunately the 'automatic answering of pop-up questions'
 feature will not work in images older than 3.8, due to missing
infrastructure.
