But, Yoshiki is talking about, that you could "generate a growable image file from all text files, or make deep changes to the system without shooting yourself". And this is really awesome and so long waited step!
Well, you do need a C compiler, presumably in the form of an executable binary. And if you're going to grant special dispensation to an "external tool" implemented in C, why not to an external tool implemented in Smalltalk?
That said, bravo, Yoshiki! This is a great project.
