[Newbies] VM Building questions

[Dave Raymer]

Gentlefolk,

I've started playing with VM building and I've got a few questions, perhaps
observations for which I was unable to find answers/confirmations.

Using: Win32 system, v1545 out of SVN repo; VMMakerTool

The following plugins don't have an platform specific files:  FileCopyPlugin
and InternetConfigPlugin
The following plugins fail when VM generation is attempted.

BalloonEnginePlugin, BitBltSimulation, DeflatePlugin, FFTPlugin,
HostWindowPlugin, JoystickTabletPlugin, JPEGReadWriter2Plugin,
LargeIntegersPlugin, Mpeg3Plugin, RePlugin, SerialPlugin, SocketPlugin,
SoundCodecPlugin, SoundPlugin.**

I did not attempt to "generate" MacMenubarPlugin, MIDIPlugin, or
TestOSAPlugin.

Is this expected, or am I doing something wrong?

regards,
  Dave
