haha, so these are commits from the pre-full-name aera.
Anyway, dfgs was a student in bern ;), but since I put the code in the system I 
should be the owner ;).

VTerm*Driver abstract over the terminal, and yes they are crucial for any 
decent terminal support.
- provide colors for terminal
- provide cursor navigation
- provide terminal capability access

due to lack of NativeBoost in the main image, 
so far I could not use tcap, but that will change.

So far I did not port the input handler (but there is a fully fledged 
smalltalk-based readline implementation ready).
Once that is in the image there should be no more undefined calls.

And using #perform: is a very bad habit in my opinion. 
It breaks all tools, since you make everything implicit (and quite slow as 
well)..
