Squeak to Go

Hi Ian/Bert,

etoys.sh has shaped up well as a smart launcher script that can launch squeak
binary from any location (e.g. $HOME/.squeak, a mounted volume/share or USB
flash memory chip). It can be merged into the unix/src tree.

I propose that we generate the main binary as $bin/squeakvm and install this
script (with some minor modifications) as $bin/squeak. This will help us get
rid of /usr/local/lib prefix hard-wiring.

This is the script subbu is referring to:

http://svn.squeakland.org/installers/Etoys-To-Go/etoys.sh

But I don't see a compelling reason to include something like this in
the VM package itself.
