A new version of VMMaker is now online at
http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim/pooters/SqFiles/deltas/VMMaker-3-2-version5.5.cs

It has just one actual fix relating to a serious case of dumb finger in
the last version and refactors several areas the used to be for copying
files around. Since we are moving to avoid such copying, it seemed
sensibleto clean that are up a bit. Hopefully the new methods
(#processFiles....) will make reasonable hooks for hanging makefile
generation from, such as that being experimented with by Ross Boyland.
Note that Ross's extensions will not work with this new version, yet.

This works in a 3.2 update #4743 image. You will also want John
McIntosh's 64bit file (etc) fixes from ConsolidateTo4744-JMM.cs which is
provided on the same website for your convenience.

I've updated several of the swiki pages relating to vm making to reflect
these and other recent changes, hopefully making a little more sense of
a fairly diverse set of pages.
