The SqueakMap package "Compiler" now has the latest version of the new 
Compiler, with IRBuilder and BytecodeGenerator, (IRBuilder was hacked 
to support non-Closure blocks)

Note that this installs the whole closurecompiler, but does not hook in 
into the system in any way, so it's great for those who use parts of 
the
infrastructure like IRBuilder.
