It's certainly possible but you may find it quite painful.  The original
bootstrap is at
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/Closures0811/Bootstrap/.  The problem
with this code is that it is missing over two years of bug fixes and
improvements.  So even if you were to apply this to your image you'd find
you had something that needed a lot of work to bring to a correct state.

I suspect you will be /much/ better off trying to extract your code from the
3.8 image and load it into a trunk Squeak in MVC mode.  It's likely that
some people in the community will be eager to help you make sure that the
MVC support is functional.

HTH,
Eliot
