[Vm-dev] Linux vm default plugins directory

[Schwab,Wilhelm K]

A recurring theme is that I encounter a problem for which there is no explanation from the system, hack the vm sources to add some tracing, and correct the problem.  As a result, I end up building the vm from source and so tend to use a shell script that runs it.

FWIW, without a -plugins option, this is what happens with the current sources:

Load failed for: /usr/local/lib/squeak/4.0.3-2202//so.vm-sound-OSS

Note the extra / in the paths.  Some of the plugins should fail to load; the point is that *all* of them fail to load.
