There are currently several different efforts to port or re-implent Self on
Linux & Mac. This should be of interest to even the non-proto fans in the
Smalltalk community as a Smalltalk was implemented in Self that ran faster
than any commercial Smalltalk of the day(mid-90s). So the appearence of a Self
for Linux/Mac might also give us access to the fastest Smalltalk VM ever made.
