Thanks Paolo!!

I'm trying to use it but am not completely sure of the format
for the packages.xml file.. Below is the current incarnation I'm
using which is not working :

<packages>

<package>
  <name>AddOns</name>
  <file>VisualWorksExtensions.st</file>
<package>

</packages>

It gives me this when I try to use the following packageLoader
line :

PackageLoader fileInPackage: #VisualWorksExtensions.
