How do you go about generating the Squeak version? Do you have a gst- 
convert scrip that you use? If this isn't automated, it seems like it  
ought to be. Are there major differences other than converting  
namespaces to a prefix?

Also, as an aside, what are people using to edit their GST code? I'm a  
vim-head from way back but I really like the traditional Smalltalk  
development environments -- although I think VisualWorks is far  
superior to Squeak, I'm concerned about the fact that I can't even  
find a price list for it!

So I'm very tempted to put all the effort required into getting  
VisualGST to compile under OS X. Does VisualGST do a good job of  
preserving unchanged portions of a file? If I use svn, git or  
mercurial to do version control, will the unchanged methods be  
identical between subsequent commits?
