[squeak-dev] A better looking text caret (IMO)

Sometimes it's hard to notice a caret position in text, because it's
thin and my display is soo big :)
This patch draws caret as 5 pixel width vertical bar. It's much easier
for my eyes to track it's position in text.

I'm also wanted to make it blinking.. but hmm.. i think it will
require adding too much for achieving that, because caret is not
considered as some kind of visual object in text morph, and drawn only
when selection is empty and only during text update :(

You should submit this as a bug report, not an email

It's just another way to draw cursor caret , to anyone who might like
it more than current one.
