Haven't SqC already included basic modularisation support with Environments? 
What seems to be lacking are enhancements, docs and tools to support them. 
Once that is done then breaking up the image could be done in stages with 
only a small amount of assistance from SqC.

Is anyone working on this? I'd try it myself if I weren't the perpetual 
Smalltalk newbie :)
