But you can still get the code using SqueakMap cache:
http://map.squeak.org/package/f4f46616-3def-4f6c-b574-7b04d78dca28/autoversion/3/cache(jsut adding "/cache" to the page for the version)
This will give you a file called "cache", just rename it to the proper
*.mcz name.
And if you use the SqueakMap Package Loader from inside Squeak it should
use this automatically. :)

FFI is actually simple to use, but C# libs can not be called just by
using FFI.
Mono had a wrapping tool called "cilc" earlier (I googled) that could
generate a C lib wrapper for C# libs, that you then could have called
using FFI. But it has been discontinued in Mono 2.8, anyone know of
similar tools?
Also FFI will "soonish" get much better too - Eliot is working on that.

Not really :) But it is IMHO an increasinly interesting question.
