What I should probably do is move the (very simplistic) logic that's
currently in the SMDVSInstaller into FilePackageLoader, so that you can do

FilePackageLoader fileIn: 'fileName.st.gz'
or (would SAR need this?)
FilePackageLoader fileInFromStream: aStream named: fileName

The it would be trivial for the install script in those .sar archives to
check for the existence of FilePackageLoader, and use it if it was there.
Right?
