The attached change set adds #asCString and #asCString: for object memory,
interpreter, and plugin classes.

For example, in a browser source window for ObjectMemory>>growObjectMemory:,
you can inspect the generated C source code by evaluating:
  "self asCString: #growObjectMemory:"

To look at the C code for a plugin method:
  "OSProcessPlugin concreteClass asCString: #forkSqueak:"

I did not try to incorporate this into any of the browsers.
