[Vm-dev] Would anyone object if I added optional building of the processor plugins to the Pharo builds?

Hi Eliot,

I see no objection myself, on the contrary.

Out of ignorance, what are the processor plugins? libcpu, libdiasm and
libfpu? or BochsIA32Plugin, BochsX64Plugin, GdbARMPlugin...?

I'm checking the squeak osx makefiles to see what the differences are and I
spot the second set only.
Adding those to the plugin.ext should suffice?

Cheers,
Guille
