That would be fine with me. I did intend at one point to make two
separate packages (VM & VMMaker) but since the VM code is pretty much
pointless without the tools to use it I thought better of it. The only
real cost would be finding all those places that refer to the VMMaker
package and updating them properly. Can SM do redirection?
