Here is the link describing MSWindows ini files:
http://www.squeakvm.org/win32/settings.html

Nothing found about switching the mouse buttons though.

And as I change the last line of
    squeak.sh

    exec "${vm}"  "`basename ${image}`"

to

    exec "${vm}" -swapbtn "`basename ${image}`"

it tell me
    unknown option: -swapbtn
