There was a project called Cheese for the OS/2. It look's like
they got native windows working with mostly Smalltalk code. There
has to be some external code, no matter how you do it, to create
and interact with the OS windows.

Technically it could be possible to do something like Cheese for
other platforms but it does require more porting effort for each
platform.

Any native window support is likely to help. If only because it will
allow a community to start using Squeak for native window projects.

If a window just contains a Morphic canvas do we really care what
library is used to interact with the window?
