Yes, there are bound to be quite a few Squeakisms in the code. I'm  
currently working on a port to Gemstone, which is helping to identify  
and isolate them, but Gemstone has quite a bit of the Squeak  
environment present, since several packages of Squeak origin have  
already been ported.

Usually, porting Squeak code to another Smalltalk involves porting  
parts of the Squeak libraries as well. With Strongtalk we have an  
opportunity to go the other way as well, since the Strongtalk license  
is compatible with the licenses of Monticello and Squeak.
