Yes, we'd write some. At least, right now, let me say that that folder 
is for SqueakCompatibility.pck.st, and any other packages that depend on 
it. VMMaker, for instance, is a verbatim copy of current VMMaker for 
Squeak, without a single line of code changed. But this is open for 
discussion.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
