  Once you've loaded one of these configs, there
will be no development tools
 nor any adaptors so at a minimum you'll need to load one of the following
 depending upon which adaptor you want to use:

  "All platforms"
  (ConfigurationOfSeaside30 project version: '3.0.0-alpha5.15')
    load: #('Seaside-Adaptors-Swazoo').
  "Squeak and Pharo"
  (ConfigurationOfSeaside30 project version: '3.0.0-alpha5.15')
    load: #('Seaside-Adaptors-Comanche').
  "GemStone"
  (ConfigurationOfSeaside30 project version: '3.0.0-alpha5.15')
    load: #('Seaside-Adaptors-FastCGI'). 
This, of course, is why package management systems like RPM and Deb
end up having "provides". This would allow Seaside-Base to require
"http-adaptor" or something and each of those packages to provide
"http-adaptor". The package manager can then look for possibilities
and prompt if it finds more than one.

Not saying you need to go that route, but it's probably the
"traditional" solution.
