	If you have a mini web server (headless) running in Squeak, I'd say the
Smalltalk compiler and the Transcript support aren't really needed. You're
not compiling new code, and you can log messages to stdout or a file. So,
I'd say they do not belong to a minimal kernel.

	As I said before, I like the list from PocketSmalltalk:
http://www.pocketsmalltalk.com/whitepaper.html#builtins

	The next level up would be the above with compiler support, so that you
could maybe use this as a TTY scripting language. Still no GUI, just stdout.

	Then on top of that GUI, etc.

	Just my 2 cents...
