Sorry, but as far as the CCdoeGenerator is concerned, the practical
answer is "you can't do that".

The CCodeGenerator classes are there to allow translation of a very
limited subset of Smalltalk suitable for creating the VM code. You don't
get normal message sending behaviour, classes, metaclasses, any of the
useful stuff, just very simple mapping of a rather C-like style of
Smaltalk. Take a look at some of the classes that are translated!

On the other hand, you can certainly hope to make a single file with the
VM and image together so that you can treat it as an exe; Ian added a
version of that to the unix build stuff recently, I feel sure you ought
to be able to make the image be in the resource fork of the Mac VM,
Acorn has always had the facility and soon.
