Thank you Nicolas, for the elaborate explanation (I should have checked the 
wiki on SS first myself).

With your latest updates, everything loads and all tests are green in Pharo 
1.1.1

Is this a correct summary then ?

You started Squeak XTreams based on both ideas in VW Xtreams and your own, at a 
time when VW Xtreams was not MIT licensed (and maybe incomplete). Your goal 
was/is not API level compatibility with VW Xtreams. Squeak XTreams values 
backwards compatibilty/integration a bit more, speed is important as well.

I haven't looked deep enough into Squeak Xtreams yet. Reading the high level 
descriptions (slides and website docs) of VW Xtreams I get this warm feeling of 
'Yes, this is it, this all makes perfect sense, feels good'. But apart from 
some historical influences, the relation with Squeak Xtreams seems rather 
limited.
