That was me :)  I was thinking more broadly that over time the
"repository" might  hold different packages Compatibility-ANSI,
Compatibility-VW, Compatibility-Dolphin.  But maybe that is
overreaching and its better to be more focussed. Let me know what you
think on this and restate what you think the repository name should
be.

I saw those, but they interact with existing classes, so I thought it
easier to kickstart by loading in the tests first, which are all new
classes.  I only created the repository since the tests were *hard* to
find eventually at
http://www.spacmunke.org/svn/jst/trunk/src/test/ansi/ansi-compatibility/
So I thought it would be good make them more accessible as a Monticello Package.

P.S. I don't quite follow "to SmalltalkCompatibility to ANSICompatibility"
do you mean "to SmalltalkCompatibility or ANSICompatibility" ?
