Hi Guys,

I've just release a new Win32 VM (now at 3.5.1). I've used this release to
improve the associated documentation a little, and from now on I will only
refer to the new "VM home page" at

http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/3272

The new VM contains the following changes:
* A preference for enforcing case sensitive in file naming on the VM level.
This is useful for finding cross-platform file naming problems which
originate from confusion between lower and upper casing.
* A fix for a resource leak in the networking code. This resulting in
Windows using up handles for each created socket and (given enough requests)
ultimately led to failures when trying to open new sockets.
* A fix for the two previously unimplemented UDP socket primitives (those
weren't used but someone may want to have them)
* A fix disabling the direct input support which was added in 3.4.4 again
(for various reasons)
* A goodie specifically for PhiHo ;-) You can now hack
plugins.int/plugins.ext directly to change which plugins are compiled
internally vs. externally without using VMMaker (previously sqNamedPrims.h
wasn't regenerated)

Enjoy,
  - Andreas
