I updated SlangBrowser on <
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5916> to
separate the browser tools changes from the changes that belong in
the VMMaker package. The browser tools changes just allow a package
(VMMaker) to register new code display options in the browsers. The
remaining changes are (I hope) now properly categorized under VMMaker.
I have not figured out how to turn these into Montecello diffs yet,
so they are still change sets at this point.
