> 1) what classes are different and why
Except for the encoder, the code is basically the same. Things like
files handling, TimeStamp/DateTime are different, but using rewrite
scripts make the conversion easier.
The extract the encoder and other different parts in a package Iliad-GST
and Iliad-Squeak, as a start.
Yes, I guess that's possible, thanks to gst-convert, with a script like
this one:
http://smalltalk.gnu.org/faq/169
but doing the opposite.
Try it! :-)
Remember that gst-convert output need to be piped into "tr \\n \\r" for
Squeak/Pharo to use it succesfully.

We decided to add the "IL" prefix to the classes of the gst version. We
will keep the namespace, though.
The namespace is harmless, and I applaud the decision as ugly as it may
be. I think if you write on the Squeak and Pharo lists talking about
the above steps (it basically looks like it is a matter of scripting the
loading of .cs files produced by gst-convert) you can find a volunteer
more easily.
