That's a good idea, though squeaksource doesn't seem to be very reliable right
now and the guys have mentioned completely reworking it. Perhaps a semi-public
MC repo on hplab?

Hmm, I had the distinct impression he had things he wanted to do from various
emails. Not least was some mention of applying the equivalent fixes to make 2Gb
addresses not be a problem.

And FloatArray.

Oh and since you used the new VMMakerTool UI layout, was it reasonably logical
for you? And nobody responded on the issue I raised a while ago about pushing
this out as the official 3.8 VM package, with the implied requirement to get
some of the stuff into the 3.8 image RSN.
