You can also discard the changes file, I think. Though you won't have any 
source code, the decompilation will work.

Smalltalk abandonSources

will throw away the pointers into the sources file, and save the temp names. 
And it will quit complaining about there being no sources file.

There is a Preference called #warnIfNoChangesFile (also one called 
#warnIfNoSourcesFile).

npsqueak is the Netscape browser plugin for Squeak.

Re-compile the VM without any plugins you don't need, to make it smaller. 
Though this won't affect its speed any. Removing some plugins may make it 
slower (depending on which ones they were).

I don't know what you mean by "shrunk wrapped VM" in this context.
