Hi Matthew,
Installing a mc package already does some pretty sophisticated
pattern matching in the method InstallerMonticello>>mcThing,
allowing you to install the latest version, the latest version
from a particular author, or a specific version.
Could you briefly tell us how to use #mcThing to load the latest version of a given
package? Do we have to adapt #mcSortFileBlock or is there a direct way to load the
latest version? Do you have an example?

this is needed.
In Pharo we use a pretty old version of Installer, eg. there everything is still
contained in one huge Installer class...
Cheers,
David
