Hi Dimitris,
The information that I provided on the mailing list is actually a shorter,
but more up to date, version of the instructions here:
http://squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html
I completely agree with you on the importance of in-image documentation.
However, in this case it may be better to keep it on the web because most
of what I wrote is very platform-specific, and also specific to one flavor
of VMMaker and build procedure. As I am sure you have noticed by now, there
are several different ways to interface to external libraries, each with
advantages and disadvantages.
In any case, I hope you are successful in trying one or two of these
approaches and forming your own opinions :)
Dave
