[Vm-dev] The code in the src folders in the repository

[Fabio Niephaus]

AFAIK the pharo-vm projects generates the sources from the VMMaker package
during a build.
Wouldn't it be better if the OpenSmalltalk vm does the same? Then no one
needs to generate source manually anymore and we don't have millions of
lines [2] of generated code in the repository.
