The problem here is that the VMs on squeakvm.org are hopelessly out  
of date. The 'recommended' source packages are equally out of date.  
The *only* mainstream VMs that are built with up to date sources are  
the OSX and RISC OS ones and I know that almost nobody cares about  
the latter.

For goodness' sake, *3.7* based VMs? That's well before the 64-bit  
clean related cleanups for example which means that the code is  
getting tested on only a small fraction of machines.
