I think it would be MUCH easier to write a .dll which communicating
with squeak vm using sockets instead of rewriting squeak VM to be
compiled as dll.
There are too much gory details need to be changed to be able to build
squeak as dynamic library for general purpose.
Squeak VM can be built as browser plugin (dll), but to what i saw it
is really different to making squeak a simple dynamic library.
