Open source Physics for Croquet - (Viewpoints interested?)

Hi PhiHo,

At this point it doesn't make much sense for us to spend any time in
creating Croquet packages for Squeak. The possibility is certainly there
but since we are still heavily modifying various parts of the system the
overall structure hasn't quite settled yet.

Cheers,
  - Andreas
