The Squeak implementation of auto-accessors is independent of the 
compiler; it works by intercepting the "doesNotUnderstand:" message and 
determining whether the message could be satisfied by a simple accessor.  
If so (and if the autoAccessors preference is set), it will generate the 
appropriate accessor and continue.

So you simply need to run some code using your new class, and have the 
accessors dynamically generated.
