Thx. And thx for the WinBuild dir hint in your 2nd message.

Yes, by your's from your local .image ;)

In this case? It's the documentation, which tells about compiling only,  
then in another section tells about using VMMaker for generating (some)  
plugin, then in yet another section about modding the VM tself ;)

For practical purpose: I think that is very practical, and all this should  
be tested anyways. If loading VMMaker+generating+compilation leaves a  
problem, then users can always see how it should be without asking dumb  
questions by email.

Is it possible you update the branch in that way? TIA.
