Right, I should have checked the credits in the ReadMe.  Thanks to 
Andrew, for this work, and for the RePlugin.  It has been most 
helpful.

Sure. (PB project attached -- what else do you want/need?  Sorry, I'm 
still a bit unclear on what the necessary set of document*s* would 
include.)

You hit the nail on the head.  Indeed, it gets defined in 
sqPlatformSpecific.h (from the platforms/MacOS/vm tree).

For the moment, I've just hand-patched the generated 
src/plugins/rePlugin/rePlugin.c to #undef SQUEAK_BUILTIN_PLUGIN right 
after #including sqPlatformSpecific.h.

Builds, loads (into stock 3.2.8b5 VM), passes test cases, rocks!

Smalltalk listLoadedModules
  #('rePlugin 4 September 2002 (e)' ...)

A story with a very happy end -- my VM Builder cert has just been renewed.

Before anyone asks, I've uploaded a copy of the external RePlugin to 
the Swiki.  See <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1401>.
