The image is less then 3MB and has no GUI. Probably too small at the moment.

It is mainly the addition of FileSystem in Pharo 2.0 and and this is
something which is considered as well for Squeak 4.5.

So Depending on the library you are working on the porting effort is
not all that big.

There are porting issued but they may be addressed fairly easily
depending on the type of library.

The same actually applies for Cuis.

General libraries have to be made independent of the distribution.
Some libraries will only be available on a particular distribution
because the porting effort is high.
