Well, I'm doing this in Pharo so unfortunately my submissions will by  
in ugly, namespace-free format.

Has anybody tried to get Iliad working in VisualWorks?

Alternatively, can anybody point me in the right direction of a good  
persistence solution for GNU smalltalk? Something like Magma (squeak- 
based object database) or SqueakSave (zero-configuration object- 
relational mapper) would be perfect. If GNU smalltalk had a good  
persistence layer, I would be willing to put the time in to getting  
VisualGST compiled on my Mac...

Included here. There's a few things missing that I can think of already:
- when an ILPagedDataGrid is on the last page, it would be visually  
appealing if empty rows were created so that each page has the same  
height
- there's no sorting. On the other hand, the table itself may be the  
wrong place for this since you can just pass it a sorted collection  
and it will mark itself dirty
- currently the header row only supports a collection of strings - if  
it allowed people to use builders, they could do things like put  
search boxes for sorting
