Right, that's why, my SWIG module generating two files as output:
C wrapper code, and ST glue methods/classes to reflect C++ classes in smalltalk.

As for squeak, the code generation could be changed to generate
squeak-compliant plugin code
or generate wrapper library, which can to be loaded by FFI and play
