Not sure, but I remember someone posting here about a GGI port of
Squeak...anyone know anything more about this?  GGI is a very good thing...  a
GGI-enabled Squeak would take care of non-X-enabled machines AND X-enabled
machines in one fell swoop...heck, if you built it with the AAlib target, you
could theoretically ASCII-ize the entire Squeak UI.
