Yes, I was thinking along these lines.   However, no real Namespaces 
(yet) in Squeak.  We could finagle this by referencing classes with 
Module-name prefixes.  (This has already been proposed.)  When real 
Namespaces appear in Squeak, we could then properly place the classes 
in modules/namespaces and rename them programatically.

The VMs I am targeting first are commercial ones, but they have free 
versions/licenses.  (VisualWorks and Gemstone)  In addition, they are 
very attractive for implementing servers.  (VisualWorks is damn fast, 
and Gemstone is a mature, rock-solid OODB.)
