Thank you, thank you for that pointer, after looking at the PIC IDE I 
felt a little overwhelmed, but this gets my motivation way up :-)

Are you aware of the work Maurice Rabb did on developing a tiny 
smalltalk for micro controllers? He did a presentation at the Smalltalk 
Solutions, but I lost track of whether he is still working on it.
