Actually, the above is not true. On Windows and Unix (and hopefully soon on
MacOS/X) there's no difference between the plugin and the "standalone" VM.
The plugin is only a wrapper around the "helper app" that allows us to
display the contents right in the browser. Check it out - the "Squeak
plugin" on Windows is somewhere around 15k and it should be in a similar
range for the Unix version.

You could always do that - the plugin is an additional service.

And how would that relate?! ;-)
