Does Squeak accept AppleEvents?  I wasn't sure of this, so was thinking 
it'd do it through sockets, passing some standardly formatted data back 
and forth.  XML or something.  That could be kind of annoying and/or slow 
locally, but you could networkify it easily. :)

I assumed the headless part.  The Squeak development could be done 
with a usual VM on the to-be-embedded image, or possibly by turning the 
Squeak UI on and off via some secret switch in the app.
