<De-Lurk>  I'd just like to add that this appears to be a case of "eating
our own".  Most everyone who attempts to follow this group with some regularity
is already in a different class of developers than most of the wing-nuts out
there.  Many of our largest clients have firms attempting, and I emphasize 
_attempting_, to develop Smalltalk projects without a shred of real knowledge.
There are a plethora of consulting firms out there that throw themselves into
jobs without any formalized methodology or experience.

And here we are flaming about platform-specifics and DLLs?  Arguments are healthy
and generally supportive, but these flames are pretty much a waste of bandwidth
(which, of course, I've just added to).
