PharoLauncher is cool!! Once I realized I could specify the image folder with
"PhLDirectoryBasedImageRepository location: aFileReference", I was very
happy (I won't start the "images don't belong in ApplicationSupport thread
again, promise ;)).

There is however one thing that I think could be very confusing... the build
artifact is called "Pharo_0.2.4.dmg". Now I understand the rationale that
for a new user we are trying for "PharoLauncher = Pharo", but even I was a
little confused seeing version 0.2.4. Since it's only an installer, if we
really need its version number in the artifact, how about
"Pharo_Installer_0.2.4.dmg" or even the more verbose but perhaps clearer
"Pharo_4.0_ Installer_0.2.4.dmg"? The application ultimately gets installed
as "Pharo" anyway.

Some cool things:
- the fullscreen UI is neat
- dropping down into developer mode is seemless and works well

One other suggestion: I'm sure this must have been brought up before, but it
seems to download a fresh image every time (e.g. even if two images are
created from the same template within a few seconds). It seems like it
should be possible to do some caching here...
