Where? Do you have your continuous integration server hidden somewhere,
which doing nightly VM builds and running tests, each time you commit something?
If so, then why you didn't told us before? It could save a lot of effort.

Of course i don't like. I don't care if it works for you. I can build
VMs wihout much stress.
And you can do that too.
Now just don't tell me that regular squeaker/pharoer can do that,
especially when
he needs to modify VM a little and generate the sources.

It never worked out of the box.. or maybe its just for me?.. maybe i
am so unlucky that i had to fix one or two things
each time i wanted to build VM. Always had a pain figuring out, which
VMMaker version could be used with which SVN revision.
And so on , and so on.
