and even more, your changes imply that code will be loaded into Pharo
image with FS.
So, there's two concerns:
  - whether ConfigurationOfCog should load cleanly on squeak image(s)
  - whether you can use loaded stuff to produce non-pharo VM

for first one, i don't remember when the last time i tried it and it
will probably won't work, so no big deal
for second one, it is important to keep lettling people choose what
they want to build.
