Well, sort of...

I ported CCodeGenerator to VW 5i.4 and made the following changes:
- pass self as the first argument
- instance variables are structure members
- integrated type definitions with the VW DLL/CC type classes
- used VW pragmas to specify types

I got carried away and ripped out much of the Squeak specific code
since I didn't need it and it was in my way.  Its at the stage where
it will generate proper code, but the inliner is broken.  I haven't 
looked at it in two or three months.
