[Glass] [ANN] GsUpgrader

[Johan Brichau via Glass]

That’s pretty much what I was thinking :)

Loading a newer version of Grease should not be a problem. I’m going to check the delta from 1.0.x to 1.1.x to make sure.

In the meantime, I removed the Grease project registration from the registry before doing the upgradeGLASS1 to make Metacello pass through with the load.
