Plugins under Mac OS X

If you look in the sourceforge macintosh tree there are plugins for  
mpeg and printjobplugin. I'll note the printjobplugin was recently  
built
by Douglas -> djm1329 at mac.com . The Squat plugin for os-x was also  
recently revised http://www.netjam.org/squat/releases/current/ and  
should be also buildable as examples.

I'm afraid if things aren't just quite right then the plugin won't be  
found or loaded or even if you mismatch the VM version number in the  
platform header, the plugin initialization message will return false  
and abort the plugin load. Because of where the load failure occurs and  
how the primitive calls are done the actuall issue doesn't percolate up  
to the smalltalk layer. For the more interesting errors/issues you must  
download and setup a VM project so you can build then debug and set  
breakpoints on the logic that finds then attempts to call the bundle.
