Adrian,

Loading SqueakMap might just prolong the pain.  If I am following
correctly, the idea would be to use a universe to load the main package
and then MC to grab the rest to my image to do what I want.  The ideal
solution would be to get SSL registered in the universe.  Is that the
idea?

In a recent discussion with Marcus and Lukas we came to the conclusion  
that a package universe for Pharo 1.0 would be the best solution.  
Somebody would be responsible to manage this universe and only add  
packages that are tested and known to work. I think this is really  
important that we have higher standards regarding external packages.  
In my experience with SqueakMap, the chance that a package actually  
works is less than the chance it is not working. This is a show  
stopper for newcomers.
Our plan was to remove SqueakMap from Pharo-core, but I assume it  
could be put into the universe so it can be loaded again.

Cheers,
Adrian
