I would say a small one. Swazoo 1.0 is already connected on VW and this 
can be an example to follow on Squeak too. And 2.0 has just slightly 
different API than 1.0.

Input streaming is not easy to do right, therefore I would rather 
recommend to go the Swazoo way, because all particularities of MIME 
parsing directly from the TCP stream to the output one are already solved.
