arch set up, and future plans

Just for the record, the GNU Smalltalk arch repository is
also available 
from http://arc
h.sv.gnu.org/archives/smalltalk/

The archive name there is smalltalksv.gnu.org; however, if you
were 
already using my arch repository you don't need to switch
anything 
because both repositories are synchronized.

As a benefit of this new set up (or rather, of me wasting an
afternoon 
to set it up), GNU Smalltalk also has a CVS repository on
savannah.  You 
can check it out with:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymouscvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/smalltalk co 
smalltalk

I've also committed a few interesting patches:
- implementation of Unicode characters and strings
- fixes for pipes on Mac OS X and improvements to FileStream
(which do 
vastly fewer gratuitous lseeks, and know about the
relatively new system 
calls pread and pwrite)
- move #fileIn from FileStream to Stream (which fixes a few
other bugs)
- add the command-line parser that I posted a while ago

I'm inclined to do a beta very soon, and then release this
as 2.3 
directly.  Sorry for skipping the 2.2.1 release that would
have been 
necessary.

Paolo
