Basically we want to deploy a Squeak application, without shipping a custom image. I think that's a new problem, typically Smalltalk apps ship as customized images.
Funny you should mention that. This is something I am actually working on in my spare time. I do have the outline for a Squeak application bundle that stores binary representations of code (so that the image does not require a Compiler; in fact I want to be able to use that to load one ;-) and optionally, source code. It's nicely small and fast so far (the entirety of Morphic goes into 700k and takes less than a second to load) but the work's only just started so there is a long ways to go here. If someone is seriously interesting in this direction, drop me a note.
