FYI I've built Squeak using the mac os x standard development tools without
any changes required to the code. However serial and sound don't work due to
non-carbon calls. 

2) Also if you start the Squeak.app (which is the bundle that gets built) It
runs the VM which actually is
 Squeak.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak
the problem is that we want to find the image and change set which by
default is assumed to be in the same directory as the VM. This of course
isn't true.

So as you see there is some cleanup to do here with regard to Squeak and how
it treats default directories on the Mac. I've been meaning to look at this
issue since it's also a problem for the mac Browser plugin, since in some
places you ask to open file 'foo' but file foo is not found in the directory
where the plugin is, it's over in the internet folder. So you must specify
the full path name.
