[Glass] Convert Git Package for Pharo into a Rowan package

[Dale Henrichs]

No corrections for Jupiter's comments ...

$GEMSTONE/rowan3/bin contains several utility scripts for creating a Rowan3
project (createRowanProject.solo) and defining packages in a project (
addRowanProjectPackages.solo)... The createRowanProject.solo script can be
run directly against you project git directory. I can't remember what
the addRowanProjectPackages.solo
does if there are existing package directories ... it may just use the
existing directory or not??? Anyway if you run the scripts against a
freshly committed repo, you can repair damage ... if you rename your
existing package directory those two scripts can be run and then you should
move just the class files into the directories that were created ... ignore
the BaselineOf package, since it won't be used by Rowan ...

You can use JadeiteForDolphin to edit the code once it's been loaded into
GemStone, if you want ... I can give you additional details if needed ...
