Description (last modified by Jan Vrany)

Initialization of Smalltalk packagePath is bit unclear and magic. Clean it up and document better.

  • Add directories always, not of if they exist (so one see what's there ans where she may add new stuff)
  • Prune unused ones to make it simpler. One may always add more.
  • Get rid of STX_TOPDIR environment
  • Remove package path fiddling from smalltalk.rc and other scripts
  • Add --package-path parameter (like Java's -classpath
