For all involved in this , I could easily load Vmaker in the
http://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/FunSqueak/FunSqueak3.11-8472-alpha.zip
, following advice in this thread .

As collateral revamp of old Games and Music, Speech and Talking Heads is
inside, so VMMaker  have the prerequisites.

I call for packages like or use more so I give priority and next week we
could have a stable bigger image on top of regular 3.11 alpha.
