The Squeak port of Cassowary (a linear constraint solver) currently resides at:
http://penguin.cc.tg.atl.ga.us:8080/schwa/63.  

For papers that describe how Cassowary can be applied to the web, see:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/constraints/web

If anyone wants to pick this up, feel free to contact me to answer any 
questions about Cassowary that might arise.  The demos I ported should point
you in the right direction.
