I baked some of this recipe into a "VMMaker updateFromServer", patterned
after the Squeak trunk update process. I do not yet have Speech and FFI
in the configuration and I'm sure there are other plugins that need to
be added, but it's a start.
To do an initial load:
MCMcmUpdater updateFromRepositories: #('http://squeaksource.com/VMMaker' )
Thereafter, evaluate "VMMaker updateFromServer" to get updates.
In addition to Andreas' list, I included OSProcessPlugin, AioPlugin,
XDisplayControlPlugin, SlangBrowser, and MemoryAccess.
Please add your favorite plugins to the configuration map in VMMaker
on SqueakSource.
Dave
