nice to hear that my very old complaint about filetrees��habit of breaking down everything to small files has caught and there is even a project I am not aware of that deal with this. Though my motivation was mostly readability and not speed of loading. Great work!��:)

Doing that in a cross-platform compatible way so we can easier share source code needs some further refinement
and btw since we moved pharo to tonel windows is a viable platform: commits became seconds instead minutes (lots of minutes).
still work to do there, but we are getting closer��� ;)
