P.S. Maybe this is not a priority for people in regards to Squeak. There is Cuis 4.1 available which fulfills much of this goal. http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html https://github.com/jvuletich/Cuis
And the number of packages available for Cuis is growing. https://gist.github.com/4387924
And having Environments in Squeak 4.5 is probably a higher priority....

BTW is one of the Pharo builds a minimal build?
The image is less then 3MB and has no GUI. Probably too small at the moment.
Maybe the future is here?
Too bad they focus in 2.0 which is almost incompatible with Squeak and do not ends 1.4 which is not
It is mainly the addition of FileSystem in Pharo 2.0 and and this is something which is considered as well for Squeak 4.5.
So Depending on the library you are working on the porting effort is not all that big.
There are porting issued but they may be addressed fairly easily depending on the type of library.
The same actually applies for Cuis.
General libraries have to be made independent of the distribution. Some libraries will only be available on a particular distribution because the porting effort is high.
