Almost. The SVN head and _very_ latest VMM (37?) PLUS a couple of  
image tweaks that are awaiting inclusion in the 3.8 update stream  
have been used to make 64bit clean VMs on RISC OS, OSX and by David  
on *nix. As yet I'm not willing to claim completeness - I think  
several plugins need some more attention and I have no 64bit machine  
to test on - but it works reasonably well

I guess when we have a version that seems tolerably stable we'll tag  
an SVN version and a VMM package. As normal the SVN head and latest  
VMM are considered 'shoot your foot off' but I usually don't even  
save a VMM package unless it appears to work for me. For now VMM  
stuff is a very low priority for me as I have lots of more urgent  
things to worry about.
