Really great - thanks !

If you build UnixOSProcessPlugin for Cog, I have attached some patches
that you may need. I have sent these to Eliot but I don't think they
are applied in Subversion yet.

With these patches, #forkSqueak will work well enough to support most
of the OSProcess unit tests. The patches are intended to restart the
timer thread in the child VM process after a #forkSqueak. There is a
remaining issue with activating the X11 display in the forked VM, but
this is would not be a concern on Mac anyway.
