 Currently we use a customized "epaati" image instead of the standard
 etoys.image. This is problematic because the image is so big (tens of
 megabytes) and our internet connection so slow (typically 64-128kbps). It
 would be great to find a new way to distribute our activity collection (or
 better yet -- individual activities) that didn't involve frequently
 transfering big files.

 The solution is probably either to (a) make our large image more stable so
 that we don't have to update it so often (currently we do this each time
 we modify our core Smalltalk codebase -- which is often) or (b) become
 compatible with the standard etoys image somehow.

 The customizations made in our image for projects to use are:

 1. Installation of a (non-unicode) devanagari truetype font.

 2. Pre-initialization of some point sizes for this font: 72, 100, 200,
 300.

 3. Installation of our own actively developed Smalltalk codebase (project
 OLE on squeaksource.com).

 4. Adding a set of .wav sound clips to the Squeak sound library (but see
 ticket #6513).

 5. Invoking the WorldMenu->OLE->deploy to disable halos, hide flaps, etc.

 Needs thinking about :-)
