I think this project could be a good idea for GSoC.  As I said, I would love
if it (optionally at least) could not to block the complete VM while a
function is being called.

I would also love what you said: parse .h of libraries and automatically
create the wrapper for Smalltalk. At least create the invocations to the
functions, and map the structures to objects...

We need to write a title, a little description and if possible titles like
"technical details", "benefits to the students" and "benefits to the
community".

If you are interested please send it to me and I add it to the list.

We also need a mentor (and a student, of course)...anyone is willing to do
it ?

Cheers

Mariano
