load Monticello packages programatically

Sebastian,

When I get 1.0-beta.8 ready, you'll be able to use Gofer for programmatic loads, until then something like the following should work:

  | repository version |
  repository := MCHttpRepository
    location: '<URL>'
    user: ''
    password: ''.
  repository
    versionReaderForFileNamed: '<mcz file name>'
    do: [:reader |
      version := reader version.
      version load.
      version workingCopy repositoryGroup addRepository: repository]

You should be able to use an MCDirectoryRepository too:

  repository := MCDirectoryRepository new
    directory: (FileDirectory on: '/home/dhenrich/monticello').
