If anyone is interested in taking it over, I can give out the code for
the codegenerator that Alan Purdy wrote for the Intervla RTOSmalltalk
project. It's not absolutely complete, and needs backends for anything
other than ARM, but it was successfully used to generate an entire
working VM. Surely a much nicer idea than having to have some crummy C
compiler on your machine as well as Squeak.
