(Sorry, this is probably OT for this list.)  Considering the age of
this smalltalk-derived image, is there some reason to be convinced
that it contains no code/data other than that could be regenerated
from sources today?  If there is a mechanical way of assuring that,
how big a step would it be to re-create the image from those sources?
