Well, I found an article from 1983 describing mostly the same idea.And giving an algorithm for it. That could same me some time.
Meanwhile, I was curious why the image file for little smalltalk was 100+ kilobytes. First, Inoticed that the format isn't really machine dependant as I thought. So I didn't need all the things I did in the first article to run the generator. Oh well. But also, I noticed that the image includes the text for all methods in addition to the bytecode!
