Didn't someone a few years back write an ANSI compatibility package on
SqueakMap?

Ah, yes:

  "ANSI Compatibility" at
http://map.squeak.org/package/d7011055-4446-4b8e-b6da-e7e32d3389ec and
  "ANSI Tests" at
http://map.squeak.org/package/d3d77bbb-00e4-481f-b38a-9329d813456c

This stuff was obviously written for a fairly old version of Squeak, but
they might help you in your efforts.
